GOAT Guernsey Academy
Curriculum shape

Three lines. One site. Work that ships.

Automation — software and hardware, across industries

IoT planters with reservoirs. Automated watering. Custom machinery. MIG. Micro-excavation. Service EVs for landscape work. The internal operating system of a design-build practice: survey to model to planting to presentation to priced pack.

Already in use: modelling assistant, commercial pack assistant, nursery buylist assistant. Garden Lego / aircrete thinking. Scan-to-3D on the board.

Meaning Economy — tourism, quality of life, the movie business

Pop-up gardens that premiered at a festival. Botanical walks and culture trails. Animated models and plant biographies. Island stories told with film grammar so a visitor can feel a street before they book a bed.

Streetscape sits here as well as in civic work: the street is the set.

Life Sciences — food, diagnostics, ergonomics, recovery

Regenerative growing. Vertical yield for kitchens. Soil microbiome. Wellness installations that belong in a garden: heat, cold, light. The body is part of the brief.

Grow station on the nursery site. Horticulture as the academy’s wet lab.
