AgMagic is an agriculture and natural resources show held each spring on the LSU campus.  The AgCenter (Research and Extension) hosts it and Steve assists.  The video shows kids enjoying the autonomous boat demo.  This boat was licensed for commercial production, but the small boat is a nice demo to give young people an idea of how a robotic boat might be used to protect fish or perform other water based tasks.  Schools from around the state send students to the show, primarily pre-K through middle school, to visit, during the week.  The show is open on the weekend for walk-ins, and we went Saturday to visit.  The bugs were fun, crawfish were a hit, but of course, the baby chicks were the best of all...  Agriculture is a major industry in Louisiana, and has some unique aspects in this state.  Louisiana is the top producer of crawfish, alligators, oysters, as well as a major producer of sugar, rice, forest products, sweet potatoes, and other products.  In addition to the agriculture aspects, there is a "body walk" which helps educate about how to take good care of your body - eat well, exercise, don't smoke and other good facts to encourage a healthy lifestyle.  This is particularly important since Louisiana has one of the highest obesity rates in the country.  We are trying not to contribute to this trend.  Enjoy!
