GPS Cow Collars PD

The GPS Cows program (GPS Cows) is a collaborative project bringing together researchers, industry professionals and educators in both Australia and the USA who understand the importance of, and are passionate about engaging students in agri-tech. The aim of GPS Cows is to increase the knowledge and skills of high school students in emerging agri-tech, specifically tools and systems which provide animal location and behaviour data, and to encourage them to consider tertiary study and a career in the agricultural sector. It is also hoped that the international collaboration will demonstrate to students the importance of agriculture globally and increase their knowledge and appreciation of the industry in other countries.

Amy Crosby a Senior Research Officer – Agri-tech Education and Innovation at CQ University will be running the day on using the data obtained by the GPS Cow Collars.

Participants are to bring their own laptops to access the internet.

Venue: STEM Centre, Urrbrae Agricultural High School from 9am on Friday November 8.
