A key issue facing regional, rural and remote communities, in both Australia and the United States of America (USA), is the low level of digital literacy among some cohorts of students. This is particularly the case for students involved in agricultural studies where it is commonly perceived that digital literacy is not relevant to their future occupation. However, this perception is far from the truth, as the reality of farming today means students who intend on entering the agricultural workforce must have excellent comprehension of technology. The agricultural industry is changing with the ever-increasing use of technology across the supply chain demanding a workforce with higher degree skills in STEM and digital literacy to facilitate the transformation of this sector. The ‘GPS Cows’ project is a collaboration between researchers, industry professionals and educators in both Australia and the USA to engage students using emerging agri-tech to excite them and showcase the higher education and career opportunities available in the agricultural sector. The pilot program will see the development of learning materials to assist students increase their digital literacy skills using agriculture as a case study.  The culmination of the pilot program will see students work with their teachers and/or 4-H regional leaders to develop a poster outlining a science investigation they designed and undertook using GPS livestock tracking technology.
