A core part of this project is the FEWSS garden club where students participate in planning, planting, harvesting, and maintaining the Northeast garden. Gyamfi describes the club as a place for students to learn how to solve problems and take part in active hands-on learning. He feels that it is important for students to be in charge of their projects and lets the students take the lead on every part of the gardening process. Gyamfi hopes that having room to learn and make mistakes will inspire the students to learn more deeply and enthusiastically, building problem solving and storytelling skills they can bring into their lives beyond high school.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a2fc1b4 elementor-blockquote--skin-quotation elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-blockquote--align-left elementor-blockquote--button-color-official elementor-widget elementor-widget-blockquote\" data-id=\"a2fc1b4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"blockquote.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<blockquote class=\"elementor-blockquote\">\n\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-blockquote__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\"I think kids want to be inspired.
