Description
Come spend the day with Miss WV & other "Agricult(her)ists" to learn what it'd be like to be an agriculturist for the day!
Introduce kids to female scientists making a difference in the world of STEM, the Agriculture industry, and the Mountain State. Meet us on June 9th from 1pm - 6pm at the WVU Research Education & Outreach Center located at 192 Animal Science Farm Rd in Morgantown, WV. Bring the family for the whole day or come when you can! All are welcome!
The day will be packed with activities, vendors, speakers, demonstrations, and giveaways! There will be demonstrations from "agricult(her)ists" such as vet techs, horticulturists, agricultural engineers, and soil scientists. Kids will learn about caring for farm animals, testing soil, how to grow healthy plants, and how to operate some of the latest farming technology.
Kids will get to meet Miss WV 2022, Elizabeth Lynch! Miss WV placed in the top 5 of the Miss America competition and is a passionate educator and promoter of the Ag industry in WV. Miss WV will read to kids, sign autographs, and share about her journey as an agriculture scientist, farming advocate, and female leader in ag.
Families will also get to learn about the Lila Bear Explor(her) Club, a social enterprise started by WV nonprofit Libera to educate, employ, and empower girls across the state.
