Canada's Mission Explorium Celebrates Young Agriculture Innovators with Indoor Garden Award
Agriculture in the Classroom Canada (AITC-C) has announced the winners of its national program, Mission Explorium, which engaged over 5,300 students from grades 6 to 8 across Canada. The program challenged students to design sustainable communities on a deserted island, focusing on food production, resource management, and community resilience. The Grade 6 class from Templeton Academy in Meadows, Newfoundland, led by Nicole Lovell, was declared the national winner. Their project impressed judges with its innovative design, creative storytelling, and integration of sustainable food systems. As a reward, the class will receive an indoor garden donated by Plantaform, which will support ongoing hands-on learning in food production and sustainability.
