APS Rising Educator Summit 2026

Step into the future of agriculture and discover how technology is transforming the way we grow food! In this interactive session, participants will explore precision agriculture tools, investigate soil health, and experience the engaging, simulation-based Journey 2050 program. Educators will learn how to integrate agriculture into the standards they already teach while bringing real-world problem-solving into their classrooms by analyzing data and making decisions like modern farmers. Through hands-on, engaging activities and ready-to-use resources, teachers will gain practical strategies to connect STEM, technology, and agricultural literacy in meaningful ways. Designed to spark curiosity and participation, this session will provide approaches that engage all learners—including those who are often the hardest to reach.
