We are looking for high schools or middle schools to do mock trials with on a weekly basis in the mornings.

| Objective of Collaboration | We are a science magnet school in an urban area interested in any collaborations on agriculture. The students are 4th grade but could partner with older students to share information. Our students learn a great deal about dairy farming, corn growing and products, and much more they could share. FFA groups looking for projects would be ideal! | |
