Abstract
Minnesota 4-H seeks to improve the quantity and quality of out-of-school STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) experiences for middle school–age youth. In 2013 the Minnesota STEM team, a statewide team of 4-H staff charged with providing leadership for STEM programming, collaborated to create the Engineering Design Challenge (EDC) to engage youth across the state in a focused, Rube Goldberg–style challenge. The EDC has grown rapidly and attracted the interest of new program partners, volunteers, and youth learners.
