Greetings all,
Just a quick update on our Agavi project. Our Romanian and Brazilian team is in the process of constructing the prototype for Agavi that we aim to be testing later this year. So far, they have constructed the landing and account management pages and are busy working on the activity editor, which will allow a teacher to quickly construct activities that use the field environment to teach. We anticipate rapid progress in the next few months with testing to begin later this year.
Meanwhile, we are deepening our connections with the local community at Guapiruvu in the Atlantic Forest through our Greenworks project. In addition to helping students at Universidade Estadual de Campinas develop extension projects (and understand how extension projects require deep connection with the Guapiruvu agroforestry community), we are talking with the community to better understand their teaching and extension needs, especially around native bees (as part of our Greenworks initiative). As we complete these conversations and site visits in the next few weeks, we will begin work on identifying the content and teacher partners who will be interested in testing Agavi as the system comes online.
Stay tuned for more, and as always, thank you for your generous support to our project!
With gratitude,
Lev
