I learned a lot of technical skills, growing
microgreens and the hydroponic method.
I'm now able to independently run my
little urban farm and possibly teach
others both methods for more sustainable
and efficient urban farming. There were
many occasions I had to work
"interdisciplinary" such as putting
together a huge storage rack, adjusting
the hydroponic site, doing some

8) Learned New Technical Skills
A major lesson we learned is how to increase media engagement, which
results in increased knowledge attainment for members on health and
wellness topics and more individuals at our events. During our first few
events, we struggled to have engagement with our posts. We learned
that we needed to have more personable stories, videos, and posts. We
also recognized that using the features provided on Instagram and
Facebook was especially important to promote engagement. For
example, we started using the polls features, hashtags, and calendar
filters among the many features provided on these platforms. Learning
about these neat media tips and tricks is a lesson we will continue to
apply to our promotion for future events.
