🌱🐟 Train the Trainer: Growing Knowledge, Growing Futures! 🐟🌱

The AACE team was in action for a one-day intensive “Train the Trainer” session with Jefferson Parish school teachers and administrators! 👩🏽‍🏫👨🏽‍🏫

Together, we dove into the ins and outs of maintaining and utilizing the aquaponics systems installed in their classrooms—turning hands-on learning into real-world opportunities for students! 🌿💧🐠

From understanding system maintenance to learning how to make the most of aquaponics in the classroom, these educators are now equipped to teach, grow, and inspire the next generation of innovators! 🌎✨

Because when we train the trainers, the knowledge keeps growing! 🌱💚

🌱🐟 Growing Knowledge Through Aquaponics! 🐟🌱

We’re excited to highlight Einstein Charter School’s Aquaponics System Launch—an exciting step toward hands-on learning, sustainability, and agricultural education for students!

Through aquaponics, students have the opportunity to see firsthand how fish and plants work together in a sustainable growing system, connecting science, agriculture, and environmental stewardship in a meaningful way. 🌿💧

AACE is proud to support initiatives that introduce young people to innovative agricultural practices and inspire the next generation of growers, scientists, and community leaders.

✨ Participant Testimonial ✨

Real feedback. Real impact.

Here’s what one attendee had to say after attending our Product to Shelf: How to Get Your Product in Stores workshop on July 7:

“I truly found the event to be very knowledgeable. It dispelled many myths and enlightened me about shelf readiness, the importance of my barcodes, and the importance of having the right quantity. The presenter was knowledgeable as he guided us through the process and explained the ins and outs of being shelf ready.”

Thank you to 2 Cute 2 Swagg from New Orleans, Louisiana, for sharing your experience! We’re honored to provide entrepreneurs with practical knowledge and resources to help prepare their products for retail shelves.

Stay connected for upcoming workshops designed to help you start, grow, and scale your business!

🌿🐟 Did you know you can grow fresh produce and raise fish in the same system? That’s the power of aquaponics!

Our 4’ x 4’ aquaponics system may be compact, but when properly maintained, it can produce 300–400 heads of lettuce each year! 🤯🥬

🌱 What grows best?
🥬 Romaine lettuce
🥬 Summer crisp lettuce
🌿 Basil

The best part? The fish naturally help feed the plants, creating a sustainable growing system that’s fun, educational, and productive.
