Students enjoy urban farming at Kingsborough
Students from all over Brooklyn came to Kingsborough Community College this summer to study urban farming and capped off their session by presenting ideas on creating entrepreneurial opportunities in food and farm technology at a “Shark Tank” type of event.
Nearly 30 high school students took part in Kingsborough Community College’s Brooklyn Science Innovation Initiative, a five-week-long program sponsored by AT&T.
The students’ proposals included everything from a solar-powered compost bin to an app that educates the public on inexpensive and healthy grocery shopping.
