The University of Nebraska-Lincoln is recruiting teachers for Cultivate ACCESS to Data Science, a paid professional development program that helps teachers and students explore data science and agriculture and natural resources careers through virtual mentoring and hands‑on activities.
Since 2017, the Cultivate ACCESS to Data Science in Agriculture program has worked to increase participation of Nebraska students who typically do not pursue science, technology, engineering, and math related agricultural careers. The Cultivate ACCESS program includes multiple pathways for students and educators to get involved.
