A Focus on AG STEAM Education

STEAM education is utilizing the subjects of Science, Technology, Entrepreneurship, Arts & Mathematics to provide a well-rounded learning experience. The George Washington Carver Food Research Institute focuses on Agriculture STEAM (Ag STEAM) to communicate how nature is connected to life. The goal of GWCFRI is to provide resources to students, parents and teachers to provide experiential learning opportunities to build critical thinking skills that can be applied to solve problems.

The purpose of the Ag STEAM training is to provide access to educational materials for all to elevate the mind, body, and spirit, and to provide awareness of the various doors that can be opened through agriculture career pathways.

Junior Foodpreneur Spotlight:

Payton Samarra Moore, Owner of Sweets by Samarra

My name is Payton Samarra Moore, the owner of Sweets by Samarra, LLC. I started my home bakery because I was raised by a fiery, determined, and honorable entrepreneur who I was lucky enough to call my father. He raised me to go after what I wanted in life, and I wanted to own a business. I am grateful for his influence in my life and the support of the rest of my family and friends while navigating my business. I will be studying business at The Ohio State University this fall, and I am beyond excited to expand my knowledge of the business world.
