This lesson invites students to explore the future of food systems through technology and collaboration. It introduces the concept of a food computer — a device that uses programmable climate conditions to grow crops efficiently — and shows how such innovations could help solve the problem of global food shortages. Key topics include:
How to build a digital world farm
Coding for different climate conditions
Understanding why sharing information about food is more beneficial than simply sending food
This lesson is based on the TED talk, "This Computer Will Grow Your Food in the Future."
