(REDWOOD FALLS, Minn.\u00a0 (Farmers Union) \u2013 Farmers Union Enterprises recently released STEM:IT AG, a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) curriculum focused on agriculture, food and natural resources for kindergarten through 12th grade students.<\/p>\n

The curriculum is a joint effort between five Farmers Union state organizations<\/p>\n

(Minnesota, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wisconsin), which comprise<\/p>\n

Farmers Union Enterprises, based in Redwood Falls, Minn. Farmers Union Enterprises<\/p>\n

partnered with the design group, STEM Fuse to produce and distribute the curriculum.<\/p>\n

Doug Sombke, president of Farmers Union Enterprises and South Dakota Farmers Union. Says \u201cTalk about making science relevant \u2013 all students eat.\u00a0 We are excited to<\/p>\n

share this curriculum which integrates STEM-based information into interactive units<\/p>\n

about agriculture and where food comes from with educators and students throughout<\/p>\n

the nation.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Carter Tatge, founder and CEO of STEM Fuse, says, \u00a0\u201cCollaborating with the Farmers Union Enterprises team, we designed the curriculum to easily integrate ag-based STEM education in any unit teachers are focusing on.\u00a0 You don\u2019t need a STEM<\/p>\n

background or an agriculture background to provide STEM:IT AG to students. In fact,<\/p>\n

the curriculum requires little guidance from educators.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Miranda Letherman, North Dakota Farmers Union youth education specialist, said the<\/p>\n

curriculum also exposes students to potential careers, everything from computer<\/p>\n

coding and three-dimensional (3D) printing to developing agricultural commodities.<\/p>\n

In one STEM:IT AG challenge, students create a tool that could be used to harvest a<\/p>\n

crop, while another challenge asks them to design a solar oven from a shoebox,<\/p>\n

tinfoil and black paper to heat up food using the sun\u2019s energy.<\/p>\n

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014\u00a0 North Dakota’s Republican-led Legislature is getting some criticism for trying to make it more difficult for citizen-led initiatives to get on the ballot.<\/p>\n

Beulah power plant worker Kevin Herrmann told a Senate committee on Thursday that the move “will hamper or stop” citizen efforts to amend the state constitution.<\/p>\n

Senators voted this month to allow the Legislature to vote on an initiated measure following voters’ approval. The initiative would go back to voters for final approval if lawmakers don’t endorse it.<\/p>\n

Lawmakers also have a resolution to raise to 60 percent the margin necessary to approve a constitutional amendment, rather than a simple majority. Another would double the number of signatures required to put a measure before voters.<\/p>\n

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 The North Dakota Legislature has removed mandatory minimum sentences for non-violent drug offenses.The Senate endorsed the House bill 44-1 on Thursday. It now goes to Gov. Doug Burgum for his signature.The bill allows judges to depart from the mandatory sentence guidelines and decide their own punishment.Longtime North Dakota Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem has promoted the idea of giving judges an escape hatch from mandatory minimum sentences.\u00a0<\/article>\n

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 The Native American tribe leading the fight against the Dakota Access oil pipeline said Thursday that an Army Corps of Engineers document shows the agency concluded the pipeline won’t unfairly affect tribes before it consulted them.<\/p>\n

Standing Rock Sioux officials say the document, which they shared with The Associated Press, bolsters the tribe’s claim that the Corps disregarded a federal judge’s order to seriously review the pipeline’s potential impact on the Standing Rock Sioux and three other Dakotas-based tribes and to not treat the study as a “bureaucratic formality.”<\/p>\n

“This was a rigged process intended to justify a dangerous and illegal pipeline,” Standing Rock Chairman Mike Faith said in a statement to the AP.<\/p>\n

The Justice Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The Corps has said previously<\/a> that the four tribes suing to shut down the pipeline that began delivering North Dakota oil to a shipping point in Illinois two years ago have been difficult to work with. And the agency did meet with the tribes before it presented its study findings to U.S. District Judge James Boasberg.<\/p>\n
