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

Major Program: Science, Engineering and Technology 4-H Core Curriculum

Many people see 4-H as a traditional program focusing on agriculture only. To help combat this, the Rowan County 4-H program found ways to expand their program efforts. The Rowan County Extension District Board and 4-H received a grant from the Kentucky 4-H Foundation/National 4-H Council to expose youth to the technology revolution that impacts their lives.Rowan County currently has been on the grant for three years totaling a little over $27,000. Throughout the grant years, the Cooperative Ext
