Cherokee Students Attend Iowa Youth Institute
Carly Fuhrman, Julia letche, Jaylee happe, and Madison Stief recently became Borlaug scholars at the Iowa Youth Institute. This was a two day event that consisted of a virtual round table discussion about extensive research in specific factors affecting global hunger. The girls discussed with other scholars across the state about their research topics (malnutrition in Honduras, plants in Somalia, bovine diseases in sub Saharan Africa, and plant breeding in Mongolia).
The second day, the four students along with Mrs. Laura Brecht, WHS Ag Teacher and FFA Advisor, attended Iowa State University in person to visit their specific interest areas at the college and complete hands on activities. Julia was able to participate in a plant science experience where she extracted DNA from a strawberry. They also worked with other scholars in person to discuss issues and resolutions in other countries.
From the experience each student received a $1000 scholarship to The College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at Iowa State University.
“Overall this experience was very educational and opened my eyes to many issues that we are not exposed to everyday.” -Madi Stief
