Project Title: The Seed in Me
\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
We are soliciting support for utilization by Dream Factory, Inc to provide Exploratory STEM opportunities and mental health support centered on Agricultural Engineering and Psychological resources to underserved and underrepresented high school youth in the Northern Virginia Community. Currently, none of the 12 high schools within Prince William County Public Schools are ranked for STEM education. Initially, Dream Factory will impact one high school at a time and eventually expand our impact to the entire county. Dream Factory\u2019s program curriculum exposes youth to multiple facets of agricultural engineering, to include Green Biotechnology. This program will focus on the plant cycle in its entirety, from plant variety generation to culmination within the human food chain. We will also study the subsequent impacts of nutrition on our mind and body. The program will introduce multiple unique STEM careers which exist in relation to agricultural engineering. Youth will be intellectually challenged with hands on agriculture practices and initiate collaboration within the horticulturalist community. The program will provide youth with resources of collaborating schools and scholarships centered on STEM majors such as the 1891 Land Grant Scholarship. Due to current COVID restrictions, the delivery of this program will evolve to an online 8-week program with minimal face to face interactions. This allows Dream Factory to continue to positively and safely impact youth, provide STEM resources, and broaden the geographic participation of youth outside of the Northern Virginia Community.
\nUltimately, Dream Factory\u2019s goal is to change the quality of life for youth through exploratory STEM programs and psychological support through counseling, group therapy, and exposure. We will nurture our youths\u2019 minds during their formative years, to help future generations build a solid educational foundation while supporting the awareness and progression of mental health.<\/p>\n
