Efforts supported by the Minnesota Corn Growers Association have successfully transitioned to the virtual world due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Twin Cities Road Crew is the latest partner to continue its mission by moving its curriculum online to continue to reach metro schools with facts about corn and corn farming.
In a normal year, Twin Cities Road Crew travels to schools and holds in-person assemblies with 300-400 kids in attendance. The interactive format shares facts about corn while getting kids of varying ages moving and excited about the material.
The group was hard at work over the summer to take that same experience online. By the time the 2020-2021 school year began, a virtual assembly was available to schools statewide.
