Iowa Agriculture Literacy Foundation's Mobile Classroom Educates Sheldon Students on Agriculture
Students at East Elementary in Sheldon, Iowa, participated in an interactive learning experience as the Iowa Agriculture Literacy Foundation's Seed Survivor Mobile Classroom visited their school. This 36-foot mobile classroom offers a hands-on educational environment where students engage with plant science, virtual reality games, and lessons that connect agriculture to everyday life. Each student had the opportunity to plant a sunflower to take home. The program, funded in part by Nutrien, aims to broaden students' understanding of agriculture beyond traditional farming. The mobile classroom is part of a tour covering 45 schools across 13 counties in Iowa, one of only three states selected for this initiative.
