Grantville GA events in November: FarmTech teacher workshop and Dino Snow Globe craft
FarmTech Quest workshop for teachers: Monday, Nov. 16

Georgia Public Broadcasting (GPB) and the Georgia Department of Education developed FarmTech Quest, a free 3D simulation. In it, students investigate farm technology such as robotics, precision farming, water management and hydroponics, then help virtual Georgia farmers solve problems. At the workshop, teachers play through the simulation and learn ways to use it and its curriculum in class, according to GPB. Questions go to education@gpb.org.
GPB held an earlier session at its Atlanta headquarters in October. It drew 13 educators from 11 schools, according to GPB’s blog.
