A look back to the 5th Annual Junior MANRRS Leadership Institute
The Junior MANRRS Program is designed to stimulate the interest in science, technology, engineering, agricultural, and mathematics fields, or STEAM. The goal is to encourage students in grades 7–12 to attend college and pursue agriculture, natural resources, and environmental sciences degrees. Our Junior MANRRS program provides activities to help students discover firsthand how agriculture, engineering, and technology relate to the world around them and discover the excitement of academic excellence, leadership, technical development, and teamwork.
The program is implemented in partnership with local school systems, FFA Chapters and 4-H Extension professionals from the University of Kentucky and Kentucky State University across the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
