All Aboard! STEAM Your Way to Ag Literacy
During this STEM/STEAM workshop, we will share our progress with the Ag Literacy Reader program that we developed as a partnership between our high school and local elementary school. Watch high school students in action as they conduct “live plant” and “live animal” demonstrations! Learn how to replicate this concept in your schools—using high school students, ag-industry business leaders, and community volunteers. Participants will take part in hands-on “Ag-tivities” in an experiential learning environment, just as students would in a real classroom visit. All materials are aligned to Common Core Standards and National Agricultural Literacy Outcomes.
