ESTME Week—Each year ARS partners with other federal agencies and scientific societies to celebrate "Excellence in Science, Technology and Math Education." ESTME week is designed to bring students face-to-face with the opportunity to discover and explore their world through math and science learning.

ARS offices, employees and locations around the country also reach out to students, educators, and the general public, including underserved groups, to help them learn more about agricultural research and how it affects their lives every day. Activities include:

  • Exhibiting at conferences, state fairs, farm shows, and public field days

  • Participating in local adopt-a-school programs
  • Sponsoring onsite student seminars and teacher workshops
