Learning Objective: Participants will be able to teach the curriculum they design on the Hidden Hazards Display to elementary and middle school students.
Abstract: The Independence FFA Chapter will design and build the “Hidden Hazards” display. The students will also teach elementary and middle school students about farm safety using the display at Safety Days. I believe the most creative portion of this project will be the design the students come up with for the display. The FFA Chapters in Buchanan County have helped deliver safety topics at all our Safety Day events.
The display will be utilized year round at Heartland Acres Agribition Center as an exhibit and at Fair in our Agriculture Education Building. Surrounding counties may also use the display for their events. Potential outreach in one full year is 2,000 children and 400 adults.
