Promotional Video for the Science Fair Grant
Program
January, 2009
In collaboration with the Let's Talk Science Partnership
Program, The Foodshed Project ran a pilot program where they offered
grants of up to $50 to be used on science fair supplies if their
project involved the topic of food sustainability. Staff from Let's
Talk Science and The Foodshed Project developed a promotional video,
guidebook and PowerPoint presentation to help explain what food
sustainability is and also how to put together a successful science
fair project. The workshop also involved a hands-on activity where
the students ranked their lunch on nutrition, garbage generated and
food miles. In 2009 the program was offered to 5 different grade 7/8
classes in 2 different schools and 5 grants were awarded. Please
