Floating Farm Idea Wins Prize

Jodi Reiman, a science teacher at Westport’s Coleytown Middle School, helps CMS student Charlie Colasurdo show off his winning entry called “Floating Farm” at today’s 30th annual Invention Convention at the University of Connecticut in Storrs. The eco-friendly project won an award from the CT Environmental Forum. Charlie’s idea stated: “The Floating Farm is essentially a farm on a boat. Located on a reused barge, this renewable energy-powered boat will grow organic fruits and vegetables and bring them to underserved communities.” (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Contributed photo
