Farm Robotics Projects due

Join the Pilot Farm Robotics Challenge Academy

The Farm Robotics Challenge is exploring what it would look like to build an option for secondary school students to participate in the challenge. Our goal is to build out categories for participation that we can roll out for the 2025/26 academic year.

If you’re a high school teacher or leader in organizations like FFA, 4-H, Grange, or other youth serving institution and have a passion for technology and project-based work, consider joining our pilot group.

Teams have the choice of participating in the AIR or LAND categories as outlined in the post secondary school level challenge.

• February 21, 2025 – Project Proposals due
