Abstract

Our lives are completely immersed in science and technology. People with science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) skills are better consumers of science and technology and may become the next scientist or engineer whose work makes a big difference in people’s lives. For more than a century, the 4-H program has engaged youth in STEM activities by providing outreach from the land grant university system to youth through learning opportunities such as out-of-school time programs. This engagement has traditionally provided a focus on agricultural science, electricity, mechanics, entrepreneurship, and natural sciences. Today, 4-H has grown to include rocketry, robotics, biofuels, renewable energy, computer science, environmental sciences, and more.
