River Eves ES Welcomes Former U.N. Ambassador Andrew Young Former U.N. Ambassador Andrew Young recently made a stop at River Eves Elementary School to see the schools new aquaponics lab. The hydroponic-aquaculture system uses fish waste to supply nutrients to plants grown hydroponically, which, in turn, purifies the water for the fish. Funded by its Foundation, the school recently opened the lab as part of its STEM-certified program to teach students practical applications of science, technology, engineering and mathematics in their curriculum. Jenna Michaels serves as the coordinator of the schools aquaponics program. Ambassador Young also is no stranger to the wonders of aquaponics. His own foundation (the Andrew J. Young Foundation) recently launched a program at the Andrew and Walter Young Family YMCA for students to learn to grow vegetables and fruits in an aquaponic environment with fish.
