RESOURCES & CURRICULUM-ALIGNED LESSON PLANS
Developed in collaboration with engineers, educators & curriculum experts to provide a curriculum-aligned project that inspires students to investigate the capability of Artificial Intelligence for automated pest detection and empowers teachers with the resources to embed AgTech within Australian classroom simply, quickly and hassle-free.

About the Project:
This AgTech kit provides the capability to implement the AI algorithms into an automated Beehive Sentry System that can flush out beehive pests when detected by the AI algorithms using an Arduino-based water pump system. This project provides an exciting and authentic experience of real-world, agricultural applications of AI to students – and is incredibly engaging due to the hands-on nature of this project.

The following link is software needed to download for this next level of the project. Teachers attending the PEIFA conference will need to have this on their computers to engage in the workshop. Time will be allocated during the session to assist you in setting this up, if you haven’t already done so.
GitHub is an open source, online platform for developers to share their code.
