Title:

Facilitating Youth and Adults in SET Education

MAP:

Engaging in discovery, exploration, and understanding in science, engineering and technology.

Agents Involved:

Allen, Johnson

MAJOR PROGRAM 1:

Science, Engineering and Technology 4-H 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 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 participate in science, engineering and technology 4-H programs to acquire new skills.
