Subject: Georgia NASEF Farmcraft 2024!

Good Monday morning all,

GPB Education is excited to announce a fun student challenge for ages 8-18
that teaches all about regional agriculture in the immersive environment of
Minecraft (one of students’ favorite games)! We’ll equip educators with
lesson plans, provide video interviews with local ag experts, and more.



Farmcraft® 2024 is focused on the impact of digital technology on
agricultural productivity in Georgia and around the world. How can we grow
more with less? Many of the productivity increases in the last few decades
have directly resulted from the adaptation and adoption of digital
technologies to farming! Georgia Farmcraft players can win special prizes,
plus it's free to join -- and NASEF even provides Minecraft Education
Edition free to all participants.
