EASE introduces youth to how natural and agricultural systems work and how we can design solutions that protect them. You will explore what lives in your backyard, study soils and biodiversity, and follow the water cycle from rain to river. You will compare renewable and nonrenewable resources and learn how choices impact farms, wildlife, and communities. Through hands-on activities, you will collect data, solve real-world problems, and try simple designs, such as pollinator habitats, rain capture systems, or erosion control measures. EASE builds practical skills in stewardship, sustainability, and engineering thinking.
