Educating about critical issues in food, agriculture, and natural resources
At CAM’s Ag Academy, our Problem-Based Learning (PBL) curriculum empowers high school students to explore real-world challenges in agriculture, food, and natural resources—using cutting-edge research from Colorado State University. Developed in collaboration with CSU researchers and industry partners, each standards-aligned unit includes classroom-ready kits, hands-on materials, and custom assessments to measure knowledge, attitudes, and career interest. We also offer professional development to support seamless classroom integration.
These flexible units are ideal for agricultural education, environmental science, life sciences, and related content areas.
