Introducing the EDUaerium
The EDUaerium is a DIY spirulina grow kit that combines science, sustainability, and accessibility in one simple package. Priced under $100, this kit is perfect for those who want to explore the benefits of growing spirulina without breaking the bank. It makes spirulina cultivation easy and affordable, whether as a personal project or an educational tool in the classroom.
What You’ll Need To Get Started
- A recycled two-liter bottle
- Distilled water
- A pair of scissors
- An aquarium pump with a one-way valve
Optional add-ons are available to accelerate growth, and you can also download three STEM classroom lessons designed for the EDUaerium kit. These lessons dive into topics like sustainability, biology, and technology, making it a powerful tool for education.
Why Spirulina?
Spirulina is often hailed as a “superfood” due to its rich nutrient content, including protein, vitamins, and antioxidants. It’s not only great for personal consumption but also an environmentally friendly food source that requires fewer resources to cultivate compared to traditional crops. By growing spirulina at home or in the classroom, you’re gaining access to a healthy food option and contributing to a more sustainable way of living.
At AlgenAir, we believe everyone should be able to grow their own superfood, no matter their budget or background. The EDUaerium is our step toward democratizing spirulina cultivation, providing an affordable, educational, and eco-friendly option for individuals and classrooms alike.
DIY Meets Education: How the EDUaerium Works
The beauty of the EDUaerium lies in its simplicity. The kit utilizes a recycled two-liter bottle as the cultivation vessel, making it easy for users to create an eco-friendly environment for their spirulina. All you need to do is assemble a few essential components, including 3D printable parts available as downloadable STL files or ordered parts, depending on your preference.
For those who love a hands-on project, the EDUaerium’s 3D printing aspect adds a fun and customizable element. If you own a 3D printer, you can print your own components and create a fully personalized spirulina-growing setup. Just make sure your printer can handle flexible filaments like TPU to ensure a watertight seal.
An optional LED light strip can increase the spirulina growth rate and only requires three AAA batteries. This flexibility allows you to tailor your setup based on your space and needs.
A Classroom Tool That Inspires Learning
The EDUaerium isn’t just for home use — it’s also a valuable educational tool. AlgenAir’s optional downloadable PDF includes three STEM-focused lessons that teachers can integrate into classroom activities. These lessons cover core topics like sustainability and biology, helping students engage with real-world applications of science and technology.
By using the EDUaerium in a classroom setting, students can learn about sustainable practices, hands-on cultivation, and the importance of eco-friendly living. It’s an interactive way to inspire future generations to think green.
