Dematic<\/a>, a provider of supply chain automation, partnered with the Captain Planet Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to engaging and empowering young people to be problem solvers for the planet, to bring hands-on Project Learning Gardens to students in two communities. Together, the organizations brought outdoor learning spaces to Hidden Lakes Elementary in Keller, Texas this past May and West Oakview Elementary in Grand Rapids, Michigan in August.<\/p>\n

Each installation transformed part of the school grounds into a vibrant outdoor classroom where students built and planted raised garden beds they can now care for. By integrating these experiences into the school day, the program connects traditional educational lessons with hands-on learning in science, gardening, nutrition, and sustainability.<\/p>\n

\u201cProject Learning Gardens give students the chance to connect what they learn in the classroom with the world around them,\u201d says Carter-Jones. \u201cWe are proud to partner with Dematic<\/a> to inspire curiosity and provide the tools students need to develop lifelong habits of learning, stewardship, and innovation.\u201d<\/p>\n

For Dematic<\/a>, this initiative highlights a broader mission to make a positive impact in the communities where employees live and work as part of its Community Outreach Program. Since 2023, Dematic<\/a> has partnered with Captain Planet on the Project Learning Garden initiative to help students develop an interest in STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and math).<\/p>\n
