2026 NAAE Convention

Discover how robotics, automation, coding, and hands-on problem solving are transforming modern agriculture and inspiring the next generation of learners. This engaging workshop introduces educators to the Agricultural Robotics and Automation Technologies (ARAT) National Science Foundation project. Teachers will learn about innovative, classroom-ready modules that can be integrated into agriculture and CTE pathways. Participants will experience real-world applications using sensors, robotics, automation systems, and coding activities designed to increase student engagement, creativity, and workforce readiness. The workshop also highlights opportunities for educators to join the project's final implementation year and collaborate with a supportive national network of teachers and industry partners.
