Harvesting from the Own Vegetable Garden
Growing your own vegetables and making something delicious out of them. That’s what students are doing for the optional course Living Garden at the Kluiverboom location. A few months ago, the garden was established in the courtyard, and now it’s time for a bountiful harvest. Each student has their own plot and can even monitor their crops through an app to see how they are doing and what needs to be done. All aimed at bringing students closer to nature.
Tech To The Future – 2024

At the fair, students got a glimpse into the technologies that may be available in 10, 20, or even 50 years. These students are the future of thinking and engaging in the highly innovative world of technology.
