Baton
Rouge, LA – Youth, families, volunteers and Southern University Agricultural
Research and Extension Center faculty and staff gathered in A.O. Williams Hall
on June 12 for an activity-filled weekend. Upon arrival, participants completed
registration and kicked off the event with a friendly basketball game. This morning,
in the midst of pouring rain, the youth rally ushered in the activities. Youth competitions
in public speaking and illustrated talks are on-going as well as educational
seminars and workshops. The event will culminate
on tomorrow at noon with quiz bowl competitions, awards presentation and
recognitions.
Parishes
across the state are represented from as far north as Morehouse and locally
from East Baton Rouge. First time
attendee, Garrinecia Singleton from Scotlandville Magnet High School expressed
her excitement about the Expo.
“I like
science and astronomy; I want to learn more so as to decide what to study in
college,” Singleton said.
This year’s Expo themed "Full STEAM Ahead," Preparing Youth for the Pathway to Success, will feature exhibits, entertainment, activities, fun and exciting workshops and demonstrations for the whole family. Activates will focus on STEAM: Science, Technology, Engineering, Agriculture, and Mathematics.
