Come to the next teen science cafe on Saturday, February 10 at UVM. Cafes are planned by teens for teens. You will meet a scientist, learn about their work, and engage in hands-on activities and informal discussions. Plus, there is free pizza! This month's topic is "AgroTek Innovation."
What do you get when you cross agriculture with technology? AgroTek! This café will introduce you to different ways that technology is applied in agricultural settings to create new products or improve our environment as a teaser to get you interested in 4-H's free summer AgroTek Academy. Hear from three different UVM faculty about their research: one focused on converting agricultural waste into value added products like paper or hempcrete; one who uses coding and virtual reality in precision agriculture; and the third, focused on how experimental planting of perennial grains can be used to examine microbial diversity and soil health.
