The Sprouts Program is an abstract botany-based, innovation-oriented program meant to not only
educate and expose students to STEM concepts and application, but also to instill an early love
of science and encourage self-discovery and learning. A Sprouts course consists of several
phases, including educational modules teaching applied biology or environmental topics, student
design and execution of a guided science project. Students’ effort will culminate in an
end-of-year celebration – consisting of a presentation of their findings and the contribution to a
community garden.
