Title:
4-H SET
MAP:
4-H SET
Agents Involved:
Crystal Smith, Mitch Whitaker (Assistant), Lee Adams (Assistant)
MAJOR PROGRAM 1:
Science, Engineering and Technology 4-H Core Curriculum
Situation:
Youth experience formal education in schools which includes SET & mathematics area, No Child Left Behind (course content, testing, tutoring provided in schools). 4-H non-formal experientially based programming addresses science ability(process) and science anchors (content) under guidance of trained (scientifically able) mentors, reaches diverse populations: an increased awareness of SET skills, content, and career possibilities increases engagement of youth is STEM careers.
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.
Initial Outcomes:
Teens will participate in science, engineering and technology 4-H programs to acquire new skills.
Evaluation:

Initial Outcome: Youth will learn the basics of science engineering and technology.

Indicator: Use 4-H SET curriculum

Method: Evaluations at beginning

Timeline: 2017 - 2020


Intermediate Outcome: Youth will use the basic skills they have learned in science engineering and technology to create circuit boards, wind power, aerospace projects.

Indicator: Use 4-H SET curriculum for each of the SET areas.

Method: Evaluations before and after program, knowing how to use and build circuit boards

Timeline: 2017-2020


Long-term Outcome: Youth will be able to help teach other youth about SET programs.

Indicator: 4-H SET curriculum

Method: Evaluation at the end of the program and skills learned at SET programs

Timeline: 2017-2020
