Ag-Venture is a “hands-on” learning experience teaching third grade students in Hillsborough County, FL about the importance of agriculture. Our goal is to help them develop an understanding of where food comes from and the impact agriculture has in their daily lives.
Ag-Venture takes place at the agriculture complex within the Florida State Fairgrounds. Students are divided into groups and given a bright colored “cowboy” hat. The hats not only keep track of the different groups, but it sets the tone for an “AG” day! The tours consist of 5 stations representing different aspects of agriculture with a variety of hands-on activities. Schools will be assigned to a tour that will have a balance of plant and animal science.
The cost for this educational experience is $4.00 per student, parent or chaperone. Teachers are free.
Schools must pre-register to attend. We select schools on a first come, first served basis once registration is open.
Selected schools will be notified and receive a confirmation packet of information.
Students will participate in hands-on learning activities in five different stations between 10:20 a.m. and 12:20 p.m.
in our Special Events Center. Students will need to bring a packed lunch.
Registration is open October 5-24, 2022. $5.00 per person. Children 3 and under are FREE!
