MARSfarm

Huge thank you to @HEC_TV for showcasing MARSfarm in this 7-minute documentary. They did a phenomenal job explaining our mission and passion for agriculture education. Shout to Kenyon and his students at @FCHS_77 - 🌍🚀🌱!! @NationalFFA @freeburghigh youtu.be/1ZgzHrc-lX8?si…

Huge props to @JBSchool for getting @sama to come @STLonAir today! After spending an hour this morning walking through Forest Park maxing out my o1-preview, finding out Sam was at Burroughs this morning is surreal. stlpr.org/show/st-louis-… Proud of the Lou today #STLMADE

Wrapping up #NourishTheFuture was amazing! From touring Bayer, hands-on experiments, expert panels, and networking, I learned so much about bringing ag into the STEM classroom. Thanks @Nourish_Future and @Bayer for hosting us!

Thank you @NourishFuture @MengWangPhDMBA for hosting the NTF Capstone Conference @BayerAgEdu Lots of great science going on! I really enjoyed learning from other educators & scientists. Great to see @FarmJournal @getMARSfarm

One of the best parts of Open House this year was talking with parents and students about their experiences growing and harvesting @Tomatosphere and #MoonChile plants over the summer. Thank You @ToshibaAmerica for our @getMARSfarm chambers!

Team 3's initial planting video for the @plant_the_moon Challenge . We are using @agroliquid fertilizers. These students are also participating in the FFA Crop Management Challenge at @theAgroExpo This project was made possible by @mispacegrant @SJSHSPanthers @ExolithLab

Our Space Chili Peppers are getting ready to blossom at 42 days after planting. @TheSpaceChileG1 @SJSHSPanthers

✏️ Science teacher pro-tip: The next time a student asks, “When will I ever use this?” answer: if you eat, you already use THIS science. With Nourish the Future, the undeniable application of food and fuel powers student learning.

Had a blast hosting @NourishFuture teacher leaders to explore the latest in agricultural innovation at @Bayer4Crops From #RNAi technology to tasty treats, we taste tested #PinkGlowPineapples and @ArcticApples . Who knew genetic codes can taste so good? 🍏🍍

From CAD, to the laser cutter, to the lab. @Raspberry_Pi powered control panel for our @AtlasScientific water quality monitoring system. ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ #HHHCSD #STEMed #FutureOfFood #Foodcomputer #Agtech #AgEducation #education #CEA #Computerscience

Honored and humbled to be recognized as the 2024 New Mexico Outstanding Biology Teacher in America by @NABT_News.

With a built-in camera, the MARSfarm Verison 1 is designed to create timelapses of plants - making them move at the speed of social media. This technology provides a platform for students to share their research on their own terms - 20 seconds or less. youtube.com/watch?v=t4ldxP…

The @ASPB has published a list of 25 inspiring women in plant biology. Five Danforth Center Scientists were among the 25 people named. Congratulations to these inspiring women! See the whole list: loom.ly/kaocU_o

Space Farmers with so much pride in their accomplishments they want to continue the work over the summer. Glamour shot of our plants in @getMARSfarm and in the arms of the Space Farmers heading out of the classroom. #ToshibaAmerica made this possible and we as so grateful!

@teacherspeck @NMPED congrats - very cool!

Last 2 days as a content expert with @NMPED for the science curriculum review.

Very proud of our @HHHHillsEast engineering students that presented their work to scientists and astronauts @NASA Johnson Space Center. ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ #HHHCSD #STEMed #Foodcomputer #Agtech #AgEducation #education #Computerscience #nasa

Stocked our @getmarsfarm MV1s with seeds for crop #1. Testing their ability to maintain germination temperatures and administer watering treatments while we are away. 🌱 💻 🪐 😎 #HHHCSD #STEMed #FutureOfFood #Foodcomputer #Agtech #AgEducation #education #CEA #Computerscience

Check out this demonstration of how the MARSfarm Version 1 is a platform for student experimentation. Our 'recipes' make it easier for teachers to guide students through the inquiry and our web app visualizes data to tell a meaningful story. youtu.be/CEh9eYqoUCQ?si…

Trial 3 is finished!!! Thank you to all space farmers for your amazing efforts and also thanks to our sponsor teacher for his generous support!!! @GrowBeyondEarth @getMARSfarm @uhillsecondary
