Extension coordinates several school enrichment programs, including Embryology for 3rd graders and Nutrition Kits for K–5th graders. These two programs quickly adapted to remote learning with videos, web-based resources (including EGG Cam), Zoom presentations and YouTube live sessions. The Embryology online resources were used by 93 schools, including 44 out-of-state. Malcolm 3rd grade teacher Morgan Lemkau said, “The virtual presentations were great and still interactive as if they were in person!” Lincoln Public Schools requested handwashing videos as a key part of the nutrition kit remote learning. Since their release in August, the videos have been viewed 707 times.
