This $200,000 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Women and Minorities in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (WAMS) Fields Program (CFDA 10.318) supports the development of an innovative educational initiative at Oklahoma State University (OSU). The project aims to increase student understanding and communication of complex agricultural, food, and natural resources (AFNR) issues by combining photography, storytelling, and hands-on research. Students will learn to use digital media tools to conduct research, analyze local AFNR challenges, and share their insights through visual storytelling. The project will provide mentorship, scholarships, and a new curriculum developed by OSU experts to inspire students, particularly women and underrepresented minorities, to pursue STEM careers related to agriculture. The ultimate goal is to strengthen educational outcomes, increase interest in STEM fields, and raise public awareness of AFNR issues within local communities.
