01
Observe
Notice something real, living and worth investigating.
THE AGLAB EXPERIENCE

THE EXPERIENCE
Give students something real to wonder about.
02
Investigate
Ask questions, compare, predict and make connections.
03
Experience
Use hands-on discovery to turn abstract concepts into memorable learning.
MORE THAN A MOMENT

WHY GROWING AUGUSTA?
AgLab grew from experience.
At Cross Creek High School, hands-on agricultural learning engaged 125 students through 13 raised garden beds, a 30-egg incubation project and other applied experiences.
The lesson was simple: agriculture gives students something meaningful to investigate.
AgLab asks the next question:
What if we bring that kind of discovery to children earlier?
Built with schools,
not just for them.
Help shape the inaugural AgLab experience.
