Agricultural science considers the many aspects of sustainable food production, including plant propagation, water conservation, soil health, pollination, and pest management. Students will apply information learned in class by participating in several long-term, project-based field experiences, including the year-long maintenance of a garden plot, development and maintenance of a composting system, implementation of a hydroponic system, maintenance of a bee colony, and others.

The intention of the SLCSE Bike Shop two fold.  First, Access to a safe and reliable class set of bikes opens a wide variety of learning experiences. Teachers can plan and manage riding field trips for either educational or experiential learning; there are many educational opportunities near SLCSE including parks, educational outreach, and data collection.

     Second, SLCSE offers Bike Shop as a scheduled elective.  Bike Shop students learn bicycle repair and maintenance, shop and tool safety, and riding skills.  Bicycle repair and maintenance is taught "hands on" in a shop setting where students learn skills through bicycle repair. Group rides happen weekly with a focus on riding confidence and road safety.  

The attached list is a filter for the overarching purpose of the bike shop.

• A a safe and reliable class set of bikes.
• Open access to tools, instruction and parts to aid in personal bike projects.
• Hands on learning learning through bicycle repair. 
• Confidence with riding and road safety.
