Our students, many from our district's 74% free/reduced lunch population, are excited to be involved in an advanced experiential STEM research program with the ability to think and learn outside of the box. Students are conducting primary research, often under the mentorship of professional USDA scientists university professors, and large animal veterinarian, in sustainable food sources and production. Taking the responsibility of planning for the future of sustainable and alternative food production has generated robust conversations among our students. Student projects include the research and comparisons between aquaponics, hydroponics, vermiculture, fodder farming, beekeeping, soil health, and gardening in various light source environments. During the COVID pandemic our students have had limited access to face-to-face interaction with mentors, but have not stopped learning as we utilize virtual and independent study formats. With a high quality, advanced microscope capable of connecting to our large format monitors, in-person and virtual learning situations can be scaffolded to enable our student researchers to continue their experiments. Coupled with the availability of research presentation options - live and virtual - our students are teaching their peers, community stakeholders, and industry professionals about the need for more sustainable food production, better growing systems, and feeding future generations.
