For our first implementation of OSOG, we’ve collaborated with the PUEBLO program of Castlemont High School in Oakland, California and El Infinito in Quetzaltenango, Guatemala. Updates from the pilot can be found on our blog or on our Facebook page. Below is a description and photo gallery of our Oakland project.

This summer program is in partnership with the Sustainable Urban Design Academy (SUDA) and will consist of putting together a smart aquaponics garden and configuring it to work on the internet. Numerous experiments and assignments pertaining to urban farming will be established using the computer controlled smart aquaponics garden platform.
