With the hundreds of questions #preschoolers ask every day, could early food and nutrition education, delivered by trained pre-K teachers, make them more likely to choose to study a #STEM field later in life?
.
With other education researchers at UNCG and NCATSUAggies, #NCStateCALS Professor Suzie Goodell and CALS alum and ECU Professor Virginia State have launched what they call “More PEAS, Please! Bridging the Gap Between Preschool and K-12 Learning Environments," which will introduce #science instruction to preschoolers and shed light on an overlooked area of the STEM workforce pipeline.

Without quality STEM and health experiences early, students may lose interest and confidence that they can do science and math. — Virginia Stage
