$5K Hydroponic Giveaway Grows Student Learning

Wisconsin Agriculture in the Classroom is teaming up with RAYN Growing Systems to bring cutting-edge agricultural learning into Wisconsin schools. This winter, one lucky Wisconsin teacher will win an EdRack Hydroponic System, valued at $5,000, complete with professional training to support successful classroom implementation.

Through March 15, Wisconsin teachers are invited to enter the giveaway online. The winning teacher will be announced on National Agriculture Day, March 24, a fitting celebration of innovation, education, and agriculture working together.

The EdRack Hydroponic System offers students a hands-on way to explore plant science, sustainability, food systems, and technology through project-based learning. From seed to harvest, students can investigate real-world agricultural challenges while building skills in science, math, and problem-solving.

“We are excited to partner with RAYN Growing Systems to further our shared commitment to growing agricultural literacy and supporting educators,” says Beth Schaefer, AITC Program Coordinator. “This promotion is more than giving away an incredible classroom resource; it is about engaging students with the technology and diverse opportunities available in the agricultural sector.”

Teachers are encouraged to apply and help grow the next generation’s understanding of agriculture, right in the classroom: https://wisagclassroom.org
