Precollege Programs - Lead Partner

 

Precollege Programs will collaborate with the OSU Extension 4-H Youth Development Program and other DIVE4Ag collaborators to develop and share educational materials to its SMILE (Science and Math Investigative Learning Experiences) clubs and STEM events.

Precollege Programs' Beaver Hangouts will provide an avenue for K-12 students around Oregon to virtually meet with Oregon State University college students to learn about academic and career pathways in the field of agriculture.
