Aquaponics USA Debuts their new YouTube.com/@AUSAACRES Channel

@AUSAACRES is an Animated Video Graphic Novel for Teacher directed Elementary and Middle School Students that teaches Aquaponics & Science with TEACHING TOONS™

SHOW LOW, AZ, UNITED STATES, August 12, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — After two years of dedication, Aquaponics USA finally completed their almost 700 Pages of Science Curriculum for all Grade Levels they call AGWARTS™, A STEM School for Aquaponics. It was a labor of Love, which in truth, took a baby step into the popular world of Graphic Novels complete with Cartoon Characters and a loosely developed storyline.

This unusual Curriculum Compilation is now given away to the Teachers who purchase one of their Classroom Teaching & Food Growing Systems. But it’s not the Curriculum they are announcing. It’s what the Curriculum birthed when Grace Sylke, the Marketing Director and Curriculum Developer, discovered she and her Partner/Husband, Oliver Duffy, CEO of Aquaponics USA, could Animate her Curriculum Characters with Grok’s Imagine. That’s when the Magic really happened, and an actual YouTube Video Graphic Novel Channel was born.

Introducing “Aquaponics USA Acres”™ and “TEACHING TOONS”™ where a YouTube Channel with an Animated Video Graphic Novel mixes this fun and exciting EduTAINMENT Adventure Story full of Magic and Weirdly Wonderful Animated Characters with Real Science Lessons. “It all just snapped together early one morning”, said Grace. “After working with Imagine, I realized Oliver and I could turn my Characters into Animated Videos. Aquaponics USA Acres™ and TEACHING TOONS™ are a Gift from the Universe. We’re just like Clyde, a lovable Teaching Clydesdale Horse in the series,–the work horses.”

“And what a lot of work it’s been. Working with these early Models of AI Video Agents that can only hold their amazing ability to create these Videos together for about 15 Seconds followed by a couple of 10-Second Extends is beyond challenging. So our Graphic Novel isn’t Pixar or Disney yet, but we’ll get there. In the meantime, we have our heartfelt Story to tell.”

The first two Chapters are LIVE on the new Channel now. They include Chapter 1: WE BOUGHT A ROBOT and Chapter 2: CLYDE’S MISSION. Eight more Chapters are Storyboarded out and ready for production. And this creative Team is not messing around with light Science Subjects, jumping right into one of the most extensive Science Subjects out there, TAXONOMY. Just the name of that Subject is intimidating, but it is the perfect place to start as it teaches the Naming and Classifying of organisms. Oliver, who is in charge of Post Production using Final Cut Pro asks this basic question regarding starting with Taxonomy. “How can Students learn Life Science without knowing the Scientific Names of the organisms they are studying and their relationships with each other?”

Billed as fiction, this Video Graphic Novel is actually loosely based on what is or has happened at Aquaponics USA, an Agri-Tech Company that designs, builds and sells Classroom Teaching & Food Growing Systems to Schools. As depicted in these animated videos, Aquaponics USA really does sit on acres of land on a plateau in the beautiful White Mountains of Arizona where Elk visit often and herds of Deer graze. And they really do have a Food Forever Farm™, which will be prominently featured in a near future Chapter when they introduce the incredible U. S. Agriculture Department’s Competitive Farm To School Grant that is about to Open for 2027 in early September. Aquaponics USA’s next Press Release will be on that subject.

This competitive Grant opportunity offers from $100K -$500K to School Districts and ITOs, Indian Tribal Organizations, across America. Aquaponics USA wants to help Arizona School Districts get on the Winners list so they can build a 20’ x 100’ Food Forever Farm™ that will feed the School District year round for decades while it teaches the most important subject of all, HOW TO GROW FOOD. This is food sovereignty and community resilience that turns scarcity into abundance and rekindles the long lost knowledge of our agrarian ancestors.

This YouTube Video Graphic Novel has endless possibilities with a cast of zany, lovable Characters, their stories and the Science that glues it all together. Teachers, Homeschoolers, Students, Parents and just about anyone who loves a fun story with Animated Cartoon Characters, Vegetables and Animals that talk, sing and dance all coupled with rigorous real Science are going to be mesmerized by Aquaponics USA Acres™ and their TEACHING TOONS™.

In Chapter 1, Viewers meet BLUE EYES, a gentle Robot, that joins the zany group of Aquaponics USA Acres™ Characters. That Chapter explores the interpersonal and intermachine dynamics of what is coming when Robots inevitably become prevalent among us. In Chapter 2, Viewers learn the Taxonomy Family Name for Horse, “Equidae”, when they meet Clyde, the lovable Teaching Clydesdale Horse. In future Chapters, they learn about the Cat Family, Felidae, which has been domesticated for over 10,000 years. and they learn about the two Taxonomy Families, Elk and Bear, Cervidae and Ursidae, when an escaped Elk and a Bear Family become the newest members of Aquaponics USA Acres™.

These first two LIVE TEACHING TOON™ Videos are just the tip of an Educational Concept that will teach and thrill Elementary and Middle School children for decades to come. Science subjects lined up for future Chapters include Symbiosis, the differences between Biomes, Habitats and Ecosystems, the Nitrogen Cycle, the Great Earth Cycles, Keystone Species, Trophic Cascades, Photosynthesis, the difference between Heterotrophs and Autotrophs and so much more. This is Science disguised as fun Videos Aquaponics USA calls TEACHING TOONS™, and they hope to see you on youtube.com/@AUSAACRES soon.
