Meet the DIVE4Ag Team
Our amazing team of agriculture experts, scientists, students, educators, virtual and augmented reality experts comes together to create new ways of learning about and understanding agriculture practices and careers. We hope our results will encourage further ambitious work with youth and elevating youth voices.
