4-H Science Engineering & Technology
R. Ford
Science, Engineering and Technology 4-H Core Curriculum
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.
-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.
-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.
-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
