Members of Dr. Martha Verghese's group at Alabama A&M University made multiple trips to local, regional high schools, and community colleges (Hazel Green, Ramsey High School, Fairfield Prep, Bishop State, Johnson High School, Lee High School, New Century High School, Grissom High School, Bob Jones High School, and Bishop State Community College) during Spring and Fall 2014 to introduce Food Science/Food Safety careers to Middle and High School teachers, counselors, and students.  Several interactive hands-on experiments were conducted during these workshops.

Members of Alabama A&M University held a workshop for high school science teachers during teacher work day each during Spring and Fall, 2014. The science teachers were able to participate in hands-on activities associated with food science/food safety.

Members of Alabama A&M University hosted two workshops for K-12 science teachers during the late spring and summer, 2014.
