What happens when a greenhouse becomes a high-tech innovation lab?

Green spaces in schools are often underutilized or disconnected from technology integration. This session reframes the greenhouse as a dynamic, data-driven, tech-enhanced learning ecosystem.

In this interactive session, participants will explore how traditional green spaces—greenhouses, school gardens, and hydroponic systems—can be transformed into immersive, technology-rich learning environments. Through the integration of greenhouse systems, hydroponics, augmented reality tools like Merge Cubes, and real-world data collection, students move beyond passive learning and into applied environmental science, agricultural technology, and sustainable design.

Attendees will walk away with replicable strategies for turning green spaces into living laboratories that promote inquiry, systems thinking, and STEM engagement across grade levels.
