 Assessment Plan for Community-Engaged Learning in Global Development

Kathleen Hefferon is always trying to think of ways to get people excited about STEM disciplines. Recognizing that the Ithaca Farmers Market is a fun space for foodies, tourists and families to gather, Hefferon is developing a kiosk at the market that showcases how important microbes are in our food. Cornell students staffing the kiosk will get hands-on experience in communicating science and teaching the public. Visitors to the kiosk will learn how foods — including cheese, sauerkraut, bread and yogurt — are made using microbes.

 


Engaged Faculty Fellowship Program
