Improving Hands-On Education Programs with Farming
Recorded: October 6th, 2020 at 12 pm EST
Join Jack Levine in a livestream event from his own farm! He will share his experience working as the student Freight Farmer at Clark University, and how this experience led to him launching his own farming business, Town to Table, shortly after graduating. Now, Town to Table helps other schools integrate engaging farm-to-school programs directly onto their campuses and into their curriculums.
Digital Discovery Day
Recorded: October 22nd, 2020 at 3 pm EST
In this month’s Digital Discovery Day, we are joined by David, the primary operator of the Freight Farm at Mountain Vista High School and Maya Atlas of Saint Joseph’s College of Maine. They will take you through how they use their Freight Farms to allow students to step outside a traditional classroom setting and inside a Freight Farm, providing them with hands on learning and experiences.
Freight Farms 101: How Controlled Environment Agriculture Can Grow Premium Crops
Recorded: October 27th, 2020 at 3 pm EST
With many disruptions as you start the 2020-2021 school year, having options for remote learning is critical. We’re bringing you a class-like event led by our Farm Manager, Lexy Basquette. Lexy will teach you about how you can grow the very best crops with a controlled environment, in a class-like setting, showing you how you can bring this to your own (remote) classroom.
Think inside the box!
Shout out to all the creators that are finding innovative uses for freight containers! The question is, what will you create?
