That is an awesome opportunity for kids in your area! I am working with middle school students, so we will be implementing some higher-level math & science, ex calculating & graphing % weight loss, and some research of breeds.

The rest of the year, 4H kids, home-schoolers and other classrooms can borrow the equipment. It's a neat set-up for people wanting to set small quantities
