A four-week program was done at Shawnee High School for creating an experimental design through aquaponics. Students were asked to rate their attitudes towards learning more about Aquaculture, STEM, and seeking an advanced degree in Aquaculture after high school with a 1-5- star rating. Students rated learning more about Aquaculture 3.89 stars, doing more STEM projects was 3.56 stars, and pursuing an advanced degree in Aquaculture after high school was 3.22 stars.
