Educators, we have two workshops coming up in June! ⁠
⁠
Build circuits and scribble bots, or engineer cars and instruments out of recycled materials. Both workshops earn 2 CEU hours and come packed with activities you can use right away with your students. ⁠

Spring break camp at the Agri-Nature Center: Calling All Pollinators 🌱🐝⁠
⁠
Student scientists explored the powerful connections between animals, plants, and the food we eat.⁠
⁠
Throughout the week, campers discovered the vital role of pollinators, bees, butterflies, birds, moths, and bats in growing the foods that feed both people and farm animals. Through hands-on activities, building bee hotels, and observing insects in the garden with Master Gardeners, campers began to see how small creatures make a big difference in our food supply.⁠
⁠
Local members of 4-H came by for a special visit and brought baby chicks and Nigerian Dwarf goats for campers to meet up close. Campers learned how farmers care for animals, why livestock are important to local food systems, and how farms depend on healthy ecosystems.⁠
⁠
To bring the lesson full circle, NM Cheese Guild visited the camp to introduce student scientists to the world of cheese. During a guided tasting, campers learned how milk from animals like goats and cows becomes cheese, and how pollinator-supported plants influence the flavors of milk and dairy products. By connecting pollinators, livestock, and food production, campers experienced a farm-to-table journey firsthand.
