MAP:

4-H Science Engineering & Technology

Agents Involved:

R. Ford

MAJOR PROGRAM 1:

Science, Engineering, and Technology

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 programs.

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

Initial Outcomes:

-Youth will increase interest and engagement in 4-H science, engineering and technology.

-Youth learn new skills in 4-H science, engineering and technology programs.

-Youth will be introduced to careers in science, engineering, and technology.

-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 4-H science, engineering and technology.

Indicator: Number of youth who use knowledge and skills from 4-H science, engineering and technology in daily life.
