Milton Middle School in West Virginia is set to become a model institution for integrating FarmBot technology into education. FarmBot is an open-source, automated farming system that enables precise, computer-controlled cultivation of plants. This initiative aims to provide students with hands-on experience in agriculture, robotics, and sustainable practices.
The project has garnered support from local legislators, including Delegate Daniel Linville, who secured a $5,000 discretionary grant from the West Virginia State Legislature to kickstart the program. This funding will cover transportation costs and necessary supplies, facilitating the program’s launch. Principal Buddy Chapman expressed enthusiasm for the project, highlighting its potential to offer students a safe and engaging environment after school hours. The program will provide tutoring, physical and academic activities, snacks, and opportunities for students to complete schoolwork from the end of the school day until early evening. (wsaz.com)
