Live Garden View
Where CNC automation, electromechanical engineering, and modern agriculture come together in one of the most innovative student-led lab projects in Pennsylvania.
The NAHS FarmBot Lab combines advanced farming techniques with CNC automation, precision control systems, and hands-on electromechanical builds. A dedicated group of students are learning how FarmBot is taking gardening into the future.
From relay control systems to motorized grow light lifts, every component is designed, built, and programmed by students — creating real-world engineering experience in a living laboratory.
The NAHS Environmental Science classes also utilize the FarmBot lab from time to time to exemplify concepts covered in class, bridging the gap between classroom theory and real-world application.
