The GrowingGreat Veggies & Fruits National STEM Education Program is a collaborative effort  between GrowingGreat, a garden- and nutrition-education nonprofit in Los Angeles, California, and eight science centers and zoos across the United States (Academy of Natural Sciences of  Drexel University, Carnegie Science Center, Detroit Zoo, Discovery Center, Discovery Place  Kids, Marbles Kids Museum, Oregon Museum of Science and Industry, Saint Louis Science  Center), and funded by Del Monte Foods. The collaborative is an expansion of GrowingGreat’s hands-on activity-based programming into informal science organizations to support these  organizations’ efforts to bring STEM-based garden and nutrition education programs to the  communities that they serve. Year 1 of the project was interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic  and, as was experienced by science centers across the country, much of the in-person  programming that was planned had to be shifted online to support at-home learning for families.
