Agents Involved:
Steve Conrad, Christy Eastwood
MAJOR PROGRAM 1:
4-H Science, Engineering, and Technology Core Curriculum
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 in 4-H SET clubs.


Teens will mentor younger 4-H’ers in science, engineering and technology.

Initial Outcomes:

Youth will increase interest and engagement in science,engineering and

technology.


Youth will learn new skills in science,engineering and technology.


Youth will be Introduced careers in SET.


Teens will participate in science, engineering and technology 4-H

programs to acquire new skills.

Evaluation:

Initial Outcome:Youth will increase interest and engagement in science,engineering and technology.

Indicator: Number of youth who create a display or object related to SET and can explain what they have learned

Method: Pre and post evaluation will be administered.
