Hydroponic science lab to open at PS 17
On Wednesday at 12:30 p.m., PS 17 is celebrating the opening of its new hydroponic science lab.
Students and faculty of the Astoria school will be joined by Councilman Costa Constantinides, who funded the lab, the Department of Education, and New York Sun Works, which helps set up the facility.
The hydroponic lab will give students a chance to learn hands-on lessons in biology, technology, nutrition and agriculture.
