Summer Gardening and Hydroponics Education Program

Abstract

The USDA/HSI NextGen Grant funds the Summer Gardening and Hydroponics education program, which works closely with the Turning Point Program and the STEM Center. In this program, we seek to educate and inspire. This summer we have developed an Open Educational Resource (OER) to provide lesson plans, fact sheets, and instructional videos to the community. This program provides students with experiential learning opportunities and inspires them to sustain their own communities using traditional gardening methods or hydroponics. We hope this program will inspire educators and students alike to spread this resource for anyone to use.
