Agriculture in the Classroom Saskatchewan Unveils New “Grains of Saskatchewan” Interactive Education Display

 Agriculture in the Classroom Saskatchewan (AITC-SK) is thrilled to announce the launch of its modernized Grains of Saskatchewan education display, offering an enhanced and engaging experience designed to deepen student’s understanding of Saskatchewan’s agriculture industry.

The revamped Grains of Saskatchewan display was officially unveiled at the Western Canadian Crop Production Show last week, where project partners and members of the public were invited to explore the innovative and updated resource.

The previous display, originally launched in 2012, has been a pillar of learning for students and the public at mainstream agriculture events such as Canadian Western Agribition in Regina, Grain Millers Harvest Showdown in Yorkton, Prarieland Park’s Ag Experience in Saskatoon, and more throughout the years. The newly reimagined display integrates modern features and refreshed content to better connect audiences with the vital role that grains play in Saskatchewan’s economy, culture, and food systems. Ease of transport was integral to the design of the new display, and it will continue to travel to various agricultural events throughout the province reaching an estimated 15,000 students each year.

The exhibit combines hands-on aspects, seeds and fully grown plants, and visually compelling materials to bring the story of grains to life. Visitors will discover the diversity of crops grown in Saskatchewan, their byproducts, remarkable facts, and the importance of the crops to our province’s economy and in feeding the world.

AITC-SK Executive Director, Sara Shymko, expressed her excitement about the revamped display saying “We’re thrilled to reintroduce the Grains of Saskatchewan display with modernized features that make learning about agriculture even more engaging. Saskatchewan’s grains fuel not just our province, but the world, and this refreshed display ensures we continue to tell this important story in an inspiring and impactful way.”

The updated Grains of Saskatchewan display was made possible thanks to the support of SaskOilseedsSaskPulseSaskOatsSaskBarleySaskWheatSask Mustard, and funding from the governments of Canada and Saskatchewan under the Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership. The display will be a cornerstone of AITC-SK’s mission to connect youth with agriculture through experiential learning. By revitalizing this exhibit, AITC-SK hopes to inspire the next generation of agricultural leaders while fostering a greater appreciation for Saskatchewan’s role as a global agricultural powerhouse.
