Are you 12 – 15 years old? Get your “tech on” and tackle a real-world problem: food scarcity. Alberta has the highest level of food scarcity in the country and it’s time for you to get involved in the solutions!
Throughout this hands-on week, you’ll code and design a robotic solution, its SMART world add-on and be introduced to real world SMART farming concepts. Learn more about concepts behind design thinking, sustainability, agri-tech, and automation. On top of that, hear directly from three guest speakers – experts in their field, who will share their innovative technology and automation success with their SMART farming operations and concepts.
Collectively, we can solve the problem of food scarcity and ensure no one goes hungry in our province.
