Projects
Edge:
My edge project for SUU is focused on Agriculture in high school. I've seen kids struggling with progressing in agriculture for various reasons. Mostly because some programs are suffering in our schools. In the end I hope to give the kids more opportunity to learn in the agricultural field.
- Gathering lesson material that is engaging
- Discussing agriculture with local schools
- Ask the students what they wish to learn and what projects they would like to conduct.
- Discuss these with teachers, advisers, and other educators to show the importance of agriculture.
Other projects
