MAJOR PROGRAM 2:
4-H Youth Development Programming
Situation:
Youth will learn scientific research techniques, responsible practices and innovative technologies that positively address science, engineering and technology issues in Kentucky and globally. Through the Land Grant University and Extension system, 4-H can expand its impact and extend its reach in science, engineering and technology (4-H SET) by providing opportunities for hands-on scientific learning and discovery in 4-H clubs.
Long-Term Outcomes:
• Youth will utilize the scientific method to solve problems in their daily life.
• Youth will choose a career path in science, engineering or technology subject matter.
• Youth will utilize the scientific method in decision making.

Intermediate Outcomes:
• Youth will use and apply the skills gained from 4-H science, engineering and technology.
• Youth will demonstrate and share new abilities in science, engineering and technology with others.
• Youth will practice scientific methods learned from 4-H SET opportunities.

Initial Outcomes:
• Youth will participate in opportunities to engage them in science, engineering and technology.
• Youth will gain knowledge of skills in science, engineering and technology.
• Youth will be introduced to careers in SET.

Evaluation:
