Description

What does it take to grow, cook, and deliver the food of the future?

From managing an urban farm and calculating crop yields, to running a pop-up restaurant and designing an efficient delivery food system, students will explore the entire agricultural and food industry supply chain through hands-on learning, business thinking, creative problem-solving and experience how technology can make it smarter and more sustainable.

Students begin by designing and operating a digital urban farm, responding to real-time challenges and analysing their farm’s productivity, learning to calculate profits and total yield. They then become food entrepreneurs where they plan and operate a pop-up restaurant, collaborating in teams to design menus, and market their brand before selling their products in a mock marketplace. The final challenge allows students to design and program autonomous delivery vehicles using block coding. Teams race to optimise delivery performance, focusing on speed, obstacle avoidance, and route planning. This end-to-end journey through agri-tech, business, sustainability, and automation mirrors challenges facing real-world industries and empowers students to think like future problem solvers.
