Commonwealth Charter Academy will be at the Bloomsburg Mini Maker Faire with AgWorks! AgWorks at CCA is the largest public educational aquaponics facility in the country, using state-of-the-art technology to create a controlled environment of agriculture that provides learning experiences for students of all ages.
