Celebrate National Science Week at the Ekka!

Ekka's Learning Trail – Where Agriculture Meets Innovation

Embark on a self-guided journey with Ekka’s agronomist Rhonda and her Farmyard Friends as you explore the science behind food, fibres, and farming on the Ekka’s Learning Trail.

Designed for students and families, this interactive trail features eight engaging stations—from the Ag Education Hall to the dairy production experience—each offering hands-on activities and curriculum-aligned learning. Along the way, children will uncover the fascinating science of living things, materials, ecosystems, natural selection, and species survival, with a special spotlight on AgTech innovations.

Greenhouse Innovator Competition – Growing Ideas for the Future

At the starting point of your trail in the Ag Education Hall, discover the inspiring work of young minds in the Greenhouse Innovator Competition. Students have tackled real-world challenges in food production, using robotics and data analysis to monitor lettuce growth in classroom farms. Their innovative models combine STEM and horticultural studies, highlighting the future of sustainable agriculture.

This showcase celebrates student ingenuity and encourages the next generation of agri-scientists, engineers, and problem-solvers.
