Abstract
This reflective essay provides the theoretical foundations for the Falls Church City Public School (FCCPS) System's new Academy for Sustainable Thinking. Students in the marquee sustainability education program learn and develop an appreciation for the basics of growing food and the importance of water in an urban area through integrated applications in environmental science, energy, design, technology, and engineering education settings. This article provides a general overview of the theoretical foundations in which the FCCPS sustainability team has and will continue to build upon in the future. The five foundational areas directing the team's work include sustainability, Information and Communications Technologies (ICT), the Internet of Things (IoT), Agricultural Internet of Things (AgIoT), and Urban Agriculture (UA).
