Aquaculture is the farming of plants and animals in the water. Although almost all of us have seen and understand farming on the land, not many people are aware that we also farm plants and animals in the water.
The Aquaculture Remote Classroom (ARC) is a mobile classroom which has been designed to raise young people’s awareness of aquaculture. The classroom is supported by 4 online lessons, regular webinars direct to schools and a range of learning resources such as the ARC Poster and the ARC workbook. The ARC is available to schools completely free of charge.
Yes, the ARC is literally a truck- sized classroom. The ARC travels all around Ireland, visiting primary schools and sharing all that aquaculture has to offer. The ARC is completely funded through the EU and so is free for primary schools.
