Here you will find a menu of beginner and intermediate STEM activities created for primary and lower secondary school students using the Farmbot. With each activity, a teacher guide was created to illustrate an outline of learning objectives and outcomes of the experiment, along with a list of necessary materials and a set of instructions for carrying out the experiment. Some activities have a Student Activity Worksheet for students to record their observations and to follow along with the activity.

What is a Farmbot?
The Farmbot is a robotic farming machine. The robot comes disassembled and must be built over a raised planting bed. The Farmbot is composed of metal railings, an arm for seeding and weeding the soil, and hardware, using high quality materials such as corrosion-resistant aluminum, stainless steel, and UV-resistant plastics.

How does Farmbot work?
The Farmbot is controlled remotely through a free web app. This allows easy, labor-free farming from a mobile or desktop device using “Drag and Drop” controls. The robot features a raspberry pi as its core processing unit and custom designed microcontrollers which allows students to control the robotic arm on rails to seed, weed, and water from their phone.
