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 programming autonomous delivery vehicles, students explore the entire food supply chain through hands-on learning, entrepreneurship, and emerging technologies.
The journey begins with a digital urban farming challenge, where students respond to real-world scenarios, analyse productivity, and calculate yield, costs, and profits. They then step into the role of food entrepreneurs, creating a pop-up restaurant experience by developing menus, marketing their brand, and selling products in a simulated marketplace.
In the final challenge, students design and program autonomous delivery vehicles using block coding, optimising routes, avoiding obstacles, and improving delivery efficiency. Combining agri-tech, business, sustainability, and automation, this experience mirrors real-world industry challenges while building problem-solving, teamwork, and decision-making skills needed for the future world of food.
