Agriculture and culinary arts teachers co-plan lessons using shared digital tools, aligning crop production with culinary recipes so that students grow the ingredients they later cook in class. These interdisciplinary projects blend hands-on learning with purposeful tech use, showing students how digital planning, communication, and problem-solving connect directly to real-world outcomes and careers.

As a result, sixth graders learning surface area in math teamed up with engineering students learning about form and function to 3D-print bubble wands that produced the most bubbles. Suddenly, abstract math became concrete, creative, and connected to design and play.
