Ever wonder how Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, or Anna Baldwin came up with the ideas for their inventions? Ever have a problem then start brainstorm ways to solve it? This month we are going to meet a farmer-inventor who grows blueberries in southwest Michigan. The FARM Crate will introduce a few agricultural inventors including Temple Grandin through the story The Girl Who Thought in Pictures then walk students through the engineering design process to become inventors of their own! Learn about how blueberries are raised all while thinking creatively about problem solving!
