Vertical Farm Inspection
Lesson 3

Vertical Farm Inspection

Students learn about and discuss the past and the future of agriculture. Then, they work through a real-life case study using the Engineering Design Process (EDP). During the activity, they code Hopper to inspect rows of crops in a vertical farm.

Learning Objectives


-Participate in a group discussion working through the Engineering Design Process to envision the possible future of agriculture.


-Accurately code Hopper to fly up and across to inspect rows of crops in a vertical farm simulation.


-Use the Engineering Design Process and STEM practices to redesign Hopper’s code as needed.
