Teresa Vallotton of FarmFemmes is aiming to pique the interest of kids for future careers in agricultural technology. Vallotten’s “AI in a Day” coding camp sessions recently held at Manitoba Ag Days in Brandon gave kids a quick introduction to artificial intelligence (AI) and allowed them to play around with aspects of the technology.

Here, Vallotten talks about how AI can assist farm operations and her passion for “gen2gen ag,” which is aimed at getting young people interested in the technology side of agriculture.
