Where does your food come from? Those ingredients for your favorite cake? The fixin’s for your favorite pizza? Is there another way to supply food to our community?
We’ll participate in 4-H’s STEM Challenge to look for answers – and to ask more questions! From 4-H… “This year’s kit will provide fundamental knowledge on food security, how people are impacted locally and globally, and how youth can co-create more food secure communities.
Session 1 – Food Fighters: This collaborative board game gamifies learning about the global food supply chain. Students work together to secure their town’s food supply, making strategic decisions and building teamwork skills.
Session 2 – Chew on This: This entrepreneurial challenge encourages students to think critically about food waste reduction. By brainstorming innovative uses for food scraps, students develop problem-solving and design thinking skills.
Session 3 – Know to Grow: This hands-on engineering activity introduces students to plant science and controlled environment agriculture. Students design and build efficient growing environments, fostering an understanding of plant cultivation and its role in food security.”
