The Smart Technology Behind Smart Grain

This resource uses an inquiry-based approach to explore current farming technologies. Students employ critical and creative thinking to answer questions and complete tasks. Students explore technologies through insights and activities around UAV/drones, GIS, online support and smart apps. By generating their own app, they employ numeracy and analysis skills to explore on-farm data and information.
