Overview
Does your school struggle to engage students in a way that connects content to career?
Do you have a lack of opportunity for hands-on, problem-based learning?
Teachers spend about 12 hours a week finding or making materials. 82% of elementary and 91% of secondary teachers use materials they built themselves.
Harvesting Wisdom
Harvesting Wisdom by Urban Farming Education is teacher-ready, garden-based STEM for PreK–12, updated every quarter and aligned to NGSS and the grade-band science standards. The grade ladder runs from Wee Greens in PreK to AP Environmental Science, Biology, and Statistics.
Project Grow
Project Grow adds a campus garden built to last, coaching so it thrives after launch, monthly garden classes for families, and the UFE Conference at GCU plus Skyfire.
Green is the active Project Grow work in the Phoenix area. Gold marks are places where UFE is setting up a pilot. This map shows place names only.
