|
Want to become a garden engineer? How about a fruit and vegetable technician? Then sign up for our ‘STEMming Up Gardening for Grades’ workshop where the lessons that were part of the first edition of Florida Agriculture in the Classroom’s school garden curriculum series are made more rigorous to incorporate STEM areas of instruction. Workshop goers will learn how to design an alternative growing system, create an irrigation watering system and take a photosynthesis lesson further using science, technology, engineering and math. Workshop goers will also receive a copy of the ‘STEMming Up’ curriculum after it is printed. Workshop Session (all workshops will be 75 minutes) | |
