Educational & Environmental Convergence

Our students face interconnected challenges that demand innovative, integrated solutions

πŸŽ“

The Workforce Gap

Current STEM education lacks the engaging, hands-on experiences needed to prepare students for emerging careers in agricultural technology.

A significant workforce shortage exists in agricultural technology, with industry and government agencies identifying STEM pipeline development as a critical need

πŸ’§

The Climate Crisis

Global agriculture is at a breaking point, demanding new solutions for resource management and sustainable food production.

70%

of the world's freshwater resources are consumed by traditional agriculture

An Integrated STEM Learning Ecosystem

FogponicsEDU represents a novel approach to experiential STEM education, integrating sustainable agriculture technology, hands-on system building, environmental engineering, and project-based learning into one cohesive educational platform.

🌱

Sustainable Agriculture Technology

Closed-loop fogponics system designed to achieve up to 90% water savings

πŸ”¬

Hands-On STEM Learning

Students build, monitor, and optimize a working fogponics system

πŸ’§

Environmental Engineering

Direct demonstration of circular resource management and water conservation

Real-World Learning in Action

Students don't just learn about sustainable agricultureβ€”they engineer it, program it, and optimize it through direct hands-on experience.

Our integrated approach bridges multiple STEM disciplines naturally, demonstrating how biology, physics, computer science, and engineering work together to solve real global challenges.

Guiding Research Questions

  • To what extent does integrated fogponics education improve student understanding of complex environmental systems?
  • How does hands-on agricultural technology experience affect student interest in ag-tech careers?
  • What implementation models are most effective across different educational contexts?

Assessment Framework

  • Pre/post knowledge assessments (content mastery)
  • Career interest surveys (longitudinal tracking)
  • Student attitude surveys (engagement, self-efficacy)
  • Educator feedback protocols (implementation fidelity)

Anticipated Outcomes

We expect hands-on, integrated STEM learning may lead to:

  • Improved understanding of STEM concepts
  • Increased interest in ag-tech careers
  • Strong student engagement
  • Development of systems thinking skills

Pedagogical Foundation

Grounded in established educational frameworks:

  • Project-Based Learning (PBL)
  • Integrated STEM Education
  • Constructivist Pedagogy
  • Place-Based Education
