Did you know that a farm can be a platform for STEM Education? Many schools, from K–12 to college, use a container farm to enhance students’ education. A versatile tool, the modular farms provide an opportunity for kinesthetic learning and hands-on experience with STEM Ed topics. Abstract concepts such as light science and pH in subjects like physics, chemistry, biology, and environmental science — all can be taught from inside a hydroponic farm. Hear from students and teachers at Mountain Vista High School and Auburn University about their experiences learning STEM topics and teaching STEM Ed from inside a container farm.
