Are you a high school aged youth who loves agriculture? Maybe you raise backyard chickens or you like to sneak a plant or two into the shopping cart at the nursery? If so the Poultry Science Summer Institute and/or the Horticultural Science Summer Institute may be for you. Please read more below about each exciting opportunity. Although both are the same week, you can do both at the same time! Scholarships are available for youth with financial need.
Poultry Science Summer Institute
June 20-24, 2021
Calling all high school students who are passionate about science and poultry and are seeking a dynamic virtual summer experience. Please join our faculty from the Prestage Department of Poultry Science who represent disciplines of science from embryology to immunology! You will be sent a learning kit complete with all materials to do a live hands-on activity with each faculty lead during a 2 hour morning and afternoon Zoom meeting. Come collaborate with your colleagues in Poultry Science! Registration $25.
Horticultural Science Summer Institute
June 21-24, 2021
Do you love plants? Are you in high school? Join NC State’s Department of Horticultural Science for an exploration of horticulture through a virtual program that includes hands-on live workshops, do-it-yourself activities, videos and more. We will dig into topics like plant propagation, plant identification, garden design, growing fruits and vegetables and much more. This year’s program is virtual, but will include a box full of the supplies you need to really engage in learning about horticulture.
Each day there will be a live zoom session (that will also be recorded) focused on a favorite horticultural topic. Youth will also have the opportunity to delve into asynchronous material to further fuel their passion for plants. Youth will be able to access the material all summer long.
Full scholarships available for youth with financial need. Email or call Liz Driscoll: liz_driscoll@ncsu.
