RACE Goulburn Roadshow

The RACE-Goulburn Roadshow visited GSSC on Tuesday 14th March affording students the opportunity to consider food wastage and the importance of tech skills in agriculture.

Students from Year 9 Sense of Humus, Year 10 Geography, Year 11 Environmental Studies and Year 11 and 12 Agriculture and Horticulture were given the task of coding an Edison Robot 'Tractor' to traverse an entire paddock using the Scratch coding language. They also tested their ingenuity in avoiding food wastage when creating apple chips. The smell of cinnamon apples roasting was enough to make anyone hungry!

This project is funded by Agriculture Victoria as part of the Secondary School Agriculture Fund.
