Experts in science, manufacturing, business, education and government introduced career opportunities for 20 rural students during a learning excursion to CBD maker Kazmira on Wednesday April 24.
Coming from Strasburg and Byers High School, they saw how hemp becomes a product by a woman-owned business that combines chemistry and agriculture. They learned from start-up company Orenga about the climate-based options for regenerative agriculture technology, practices and the carbon-capturing product biochar.
And they got a sneak peek at blueprints for a production plant to make biochar and develop graphene, another carbon product with super strength capabilities high in global demand.
The excursion was organized by the Regional Economic Advancement Partnership, Kazmira Biotechnology, Orenga LLC, Morgan Community College, Byers and Strasburg Schools Districts.
