Mobile Ag Lab
The Mobile Agriculture Education Science Lab is a 40-foot mobile classroom that travels throughout Pennsylvania bringing an interactive field trip style experience directly to schools and students in grades K-8.
The Mobile Ag Lab is equipped with STEM-based science experiments and lessons, a certified teacher, and all the supplies needed for a hands-on learning experience. Each lesson on the Mobile Ag Lab focuses on increasing student knowledge on the importance of agriculture and its impact on their daily lives.
The Mobile Ag Lab is supported in part by the Pennsylvania Soybean Board and Pennsylvania farmers through the checkoff.

National Agriculture in the Classroom (AITC) seeks to improve agricultural literacy — awareness, knowledge, and appreciation — among PreK-12 teachers and their students.
By encouraging teachers to embed agriculture into their classroom, AITC cultivates an understanding and appreciation of the food and fiber system that we all rely on every day. AITC is unique within the agricultural education community as the lead organization to serve the full spectrum of K-12 formal education.
