Bring AgXRP to Your Classroom
WHY TEACHERS CHOOSE AgXRP?
It’s free. Robots are provided at no cost to qualifying teachers — just attend a PD session and you’re ready to go.
No robotics background required. The curriculum teaches the content; the AgXRP is the tool. Any teacher can pick this up.
Ready-to-use curriculum. Lesson plans are built and aligned to Idaho CTE Standards — you don’t have to start from scratch.
Real agriculture, not just robots. Every module connects to authentic ag topics: soil science,
precision agriculture, cybersecurity, plant science, and crop management.
Hands-on learning that sticks. Students build, code, and automate — turning abstract concepts into something they can see, touch, and adjust.
Works across subject areas. Agriculture, Science, Computer Science, and Technology teachers all have a natural home for this content.
Connects to real careers. Students gain direct exposure to precision agriculture technology and the skills employers in Idaho’s ag industry are looking for.
Ongoing support. You’re not on your own — UI Extension staff are available for troubleshooting and classroom support throughout the year.
Idaho-built, Idaho-focused. The curriculum is grounded in Snake River Plain agriculture —
potatoes, wheat, sugar beets — not generic examples from somewhere else.
Competition opportunity. Students can apply their skills in the Ag Tech Robotics Competition, with events planned for May and December — a built-in motivator for engagement.
