Deepak Keshwani and Jenna Hefley represented MSYM in CASNR's “Discover Agriculture and Natural Resources” virtual summer camp. Deepak and Jenna helped introduce campers to mechanized systems and ag technology.
"Campers applied that idea of management to water and productive irrigation technology. Campers participated in a hands-on activity to prepare their own variable irrigation system. Students considered how to allocate various amounts of water into cups efficiently using different kinds of straws and a styrofoam cup."
Overall the camp allowed students to investigate how these global challenges we face relate to the fields of agriculture and natural resources, and how they can make an impact on these essential systems.
