2024 NAAE Convention

This workshop is presented by the Global Teach Ag Network. 

Food has a unique ability to bring people together across the world while also showcasing rich diversity across continents and cultures. Attendees will be some of the first to learn about GTANeats, a new complementary program from the Global Teach Ag Network (GTAN) that focuses on the connections between culinary science, nutrition, and cultural influence from around the world. Participants will have an opportunity to share how they currently interact with food-related topics in their classrooms and give input on what resources could best serve their students.

This workshop is part of the pathway on global learning in agriculture curated by GTAN for NAAE. These workshops are designed to complement one another, but each workshop in the pathway is a stand-alone session.

How often do you and your students engage with current, cutting-edge, scientific research? The Council for Agricultural Science and Technology (CAST) and Global Teach Ag Network (GTAN) are excited to explore opportunities for integrating robust, research-based instruction in your agricultural science classroom. While understanding in-depth agricultural research may feel daunting, attendees will leave this workshop prepared to connect innovative research to the lives of you and your students.

How do we tell the story of the world around us? Can we do this with our students...without having to travel far away? This workshop will dive into the role of immersive technology in storytelling – and connecting our students to global agriculture! Attendees will learn about opportunities for implementation of virtual field trips and virtual reality integration as rich and engaging elements of agricultural science curriculum.

Come and learn how to use leftover flowers to create floral art in a whole new way! Students will pound flowers with hammers and create art pieces using the principles and elements of design. This is such a fun project to use in floral, horticulture, plant science, or even in an agricultural biology class!

Join us for the "Sow, Grow, Show: Living Easter Arrangement" workshop, where you'll craft a vibrant, living Easter basket arrangement.

In this 30-minute session, you'll dive into floral design principles and color theory, learning how to create eye-catching arrangements that bring your basket to life. This quick, hands-on experience is perfect for exploring creative design techniques in a fun and educational setting. Ideal for Plant Science Pathway students, this workshop offers a unique opportunity to enhance your floral design skills with a fresh, green twist.
