The Georgia Ag Experience features a 36-foot mobile classroom showcasing Georgia agriculture and ag careers using technology and digital learning.
The Ag Experience is a STEM-based educational program designed to demonstrate the importance of agriculture. This state-of-the-art learning initiative uses technology, like augmented reality and simulated learning games, to highlight the future of Georgia agriculture and allow youth to explore potential careers. The goal is to inspire the next generation of agricultural leaders by planting a seed today.
Families will learn more about where their food comes from and can explore the importance of agriculture, technology, and the future of farming by visiting different interactive stations involving careers in agriculture, peanuts, cotton, poultry, forestry, beef and dairy, fruit, vegetables, and pecans.
