About this event
Learn all about cotton...from farm to fabric!
In collaboration with the Georgia Cotton Commission, GPB Education will be live streaming from 1888 Mills manufacturing in Griffin, GA, on May 11th at 10 AM.
During the program, students will hear from various experts as they learn about farming cotton, the historical significance of cotton in Georgia, products made from cotton, and the crop's impact on Georgia's economy.
This event will include interactive elements, such as polls and experts who will be available to answer students' questions. Use the hashtag #CottonLive to participate in the conversation.
Georgia Cotton Live Exploration will be available on demand online after May 11th with supplemental classroom resources for grades K-12. This program will be televised on GPB-TV and live streamed on gpb.org/cotton.
