MUSKEGON COUNTY, MI – A rural high school in West Michigan is using project-based learning to support some of the most essential workers in its farming community: Bees.
Ravenna High School was awarded $100,000 by the U.S. Department of Education to create an automated beekeeping project, allowing students to remotely manage beehives using robotics to access data and oversee hive health.
The Muskegon-area school is one of five finalists across the country that earned $100,000 through the Rural Tech Project, which aims to advance technology education in rural areas, according to a news release by the Michigan Department of Education.
