Abstract

This article shares research outcomes and recommendations for replication of a Food, Agriculture and Marine Ecosystems (FAME) pilot project that successfully supported high school aged youth involved in a new 4-H special interest program. The goal of the program was to recruit and engage underserved youth in STEM learning through the production of food systems video stories in partnership with university plant scientists and science communication researchers and storytellers. This pilot offers an experiential method for underserved youth to engage in STEM learning through science storytelling that features youths' own bio-cultural food system knowledge.
