iTech Hack-a-thon 2016





I am so happy to announce the official kickoff of the iTech Farmbot project! We will be hosting a hackathon for our students and community members interested in participating in what is sure to be a unique experience for us all.

Farmbot  is  described  as  humanity's  open-source  CNC farming machine.  Precision farming has been hailed as  the  future  of  agriculture,  sustainability,  and  the food  industry.  The  iTech Farmbot  Project is  a  multi-program endeavor where students from many different programs will work together to built and manage a  working  Farmbot garden  here  at  iTech.    During this event we will explore the project in its entirety and begin work on this exciting venture.



Please consider coming and sharing your energy and expertise with our students and joining us for our very first hackathon!
