The team’s innovative teaching idea, “Coleman Biosphere,” focuses on the creation of a bio-dome that will provide further insight into architecture and art through design. The bio-dome will also provide an environment for a greenhouse to introduce sustainable agriculture practices. Utilizing the energy systems created, students involved in the program will be able to power aquaculture-based farmed systems known as "aquaponics" and apply the knowledge learned through their research to ultimately produce food through this sustainable agriculture. With this, the students will also be able to solve a real-world problem by providing food to the members of the community in need.
