Alpha Epsilon is an honor society for outstanding biological and agricultural engineers. Virginia Tech’s Eta chapter consists of graduate and undergraduate students who are in the top of their class in Biological Systems Engineering. Alpha Epsilon is leading an outreach initiative to work with nearby K-5 schools in promoting science in environmental education through a sustainability kit.
By following the life cycle of an apple from the farm, to the store, and to consumption, the sustainability kit seeks to make the concept of sustainability more understandable to young students. Through Albert the Apple’s life cycle, students will learn about sustainable agriculture, energy transportation, recycling, and composting. Alpha Epsilon is proud to pilot three different activities developed for the sustainability kit during Kids Tech University. Students will have the opportunity to learn about the energy from a potato, transportation of produce, and water resources and quality.
