This program was developed to engage youth with robotics, and
spatial technologies relevant to agriculture and natural resources.
Participants are expected to follow the curriculum developed while
being involved in an informal education experience program such
as
summer camp and/or afterschool 4H club meeting. The program addresses
different aspects of STEM (science, technology, engineering and
mathematics) areas of education. While focusing on fundamental concepts
of robotics, Global Positioning System, (GPS) and geographic
information systems (GIS) during year 1, the second year of the program
is devoted to specific application of these technologies to produce
food and other biomaterials, and manage natural resources..
