The results are in. After weeks of designing, building, and problem-solving inside Minecraft, Georgia's top NASEF Farmcraft teams have been crowned.

This year's challenge, Designing a Sustainable Georgia Farm, asked students to create farm systems that balance real agricultural demands: food production, land use, and environmental sustainability. They had to think beyond the game and consider the kinds of decisions actual farmers and agricultural producers face every day in Georgia. The work was impressive.

Here are the winning teams:

1st Place: Team "Capybara Club" from EdVentures learning pod, Team Members: Callie Tarr and Hugh Irwin, Facilitator: Christina Tarr

2nd Place: Team "Buffalo Wingz" from EdVentures learning pod, Team Members: Aria Palmer, River Rex, and Charlotte Dugan,  Facilitator: Christina Tarr

Congratulations to every student who competed this season. Farmcraft isn't just about Minecraft. It's about learning to think like problem-solvers, understanding where food comes from, and making decisions that have real consequences. These teams showed exactly that.

A big thank you to all our team facilitators for guiding their students through the challenge and making it all possible.
