Project AWE focuses is on Agriculture, Water, Energy, and the Environment. 4th grade centers on Dairy innovation over time. 5th grade centers on organic farming from dirt to dinner.

Teachers are a crucial partner in delivering the two Project AWE programs. Each of these programs integrate a suite of lessons using the hands-on science curriculum we provide for teachers to deliver in the classroom and culminate in a fieldtrip to the recently renovated historic Nicolaus Dairy Farm in Elk Grove. We train the teachers on our easy-to-deliver history and science curricula, which address Next Generation Science Standards, and we provide the teachers with everything they need (worksheets, graphics, tools, and supplies) to implement the lessons in the classroom prior to their students’ fieldtrip experience. We also provide 1:1 coaching as teachers often need support to teach engaging, yet technical, science.
