Let's teach SAE!

In class yesterday the AEE 311 students had the opportunity to, individually or within pairs, work with 9th grade high school students. The students visited from Juniata High School and Mifflin County High Schools and were on Penn State campus from 8am to 1pm.

The students started their day learning from the AEE 311 students about SAE. Each student came in with an interest or idea of something they wanted to do their SAE on. The AEE 311 students educated them on SAEs, helped each student layout an SAE plan, and answered any questions that remained about SAE or AET.

After class the students attended the annual College of Agricultural Sciences Career Fair. They were guided around career fair by AEE 311 students and were exposed to the potential careers in agriculture. To get to and from the career fair they rode the famous Penn State Trolley. The students then got a tour of Penn State's campus and Ag Hill from Janae Herr, 2015 Teach Ag! Avenger. Lastly they were fed lunch while Nate Repetz, 2015 Teach Ag! Avenger talked to the students about teaching agriculture as a career option. 

The day was an overall success and we look forward to partnering with these high schools in the future.
