My Project

We will provide meaningful support to our students interested in Harvesting and Food Distribution. The project is designed to not only educate but also engage students in understanding the complexities and importance of sustainable agriculture, food distribution, and the environmental impacts associated with these processes. The materials list includes a few items that can be dual-purposed (e.g. for excavation, loader, and assist with other STEM project - ROV, allowing the steering wheel and shifters to be changed or updated according to student needs or related science projects)

Our Objectives include:

1. Educational Enhancement: To provide students with hands-on learning experiences that complement their academic curriculum in subjects such as biology, environmental science, and economics.

2. Skill Development: To equip students with critical thinking, problem-solving, and decision-making skills through interactive and real-world scenarios.

3. Awareness and Empathy: To increase students' awareness of global food distribution challenges and foster a sense of empathy towards communities facing food scarcity.

The Food Harvesting and Distribution Simulator will be a state-of-the-art, interactive opportunity for the students. This simulator and all the accessories and peripherals will offer a virtual environment where students can engage in the entire food production cycle - from planting and harvesting to distribution. The immersive experience will allow students to make decisions, face challenges, and see the consequences of their actions in a controlled setting while preparing them for a career in Farming, Transportation, and Logistics.
