Sowing Futures: A Lunch & Learn with Corn Wine Oil Farms and the Center for the Learning Sciences
Prechter Lab (Room 2202)
This special event brings together Candi and Mark Fentress, urban farmers from Detroit’s Corn Wine Oil Farms, with student fellow Jess Bautista and Professor Leslie Rupert Herrenkohl from the Eileen Lappin Weiser Center for the Learning Sciences.
They’ll share the story and impact of their collaborative summer project: developing Sowing Futures, a place-based agricultural curriculum designed to inspire and empower the next generation of young farmers in Detroit and beyond. Learn more about how this curriculum integrates agriculture, science, literacy, and math; connects learning to Detroit’s communities and traditions; and offers engaging, adaptable experiences for youth and educators.
Enjoy a fresh salad bar lunch featuring produce grown by CWO Farms. All are welcome!
