The last camp of the summer started on an high note as our summer came to a close. This was amazing; before the camp, 6 out of the 15 participants indicated that they were interested in learning more about Science, Engineering and Technology totaling 40%. The best was saved for last. 12 out of 15 Robotics Camp participants completed their post surveys and 100% of them responded yes to the statement, “I am interested in learning more about Science, Engineering and Technolo

During the Pandemic Jefferson County Kentucky State University 4-H Agents have shifted their programming efforts towards innovation in Robotics. A reactive approach was used in determining a need for robotics programming from feedback with various elementary schools in Louisville. With that feedback in mind, Dash Robotics by Wonder Workshop was acquired by 4-H Agent, Louis Milligan, because he saw that the curriculum was not only designed for K-5 schools, but also that it aligns with the 4-H Exp

4-H STEM Challenge kits were sent out to Kentucky State University for the 2022 4-H STEM Challenge. It was sponsored by Bayer. The kits reinforced critical thinking and the youth enjoyed constructing the ocean bot out of all the lessons. They were engaged in a competition to see who could determine the precise weight for their ocean bots to successfully glide through the water. We spent a great deal of time testing their hypothesizes. Think pair and share was utiliz

The 4-H Rosenwald team was awarded a great opportunity to implement this years STEM Challenge sponsored by Bayer. This opportunity allowed us to receive 20 plus kits to do hands on activities with youth. Our team was also able to train staff on how to utlize the kits and then from there they were able to use the kits with youth. During fall break we conducted a 3-day program for Frankfort Independent and Franklin County Schools. The students ranged from 8-16 years of age. The students coming in

It started as a camp that led to success! As a result from our previous summer camp where 15 participants were able to attend 13 out of the 15 students said after camp that they now have an some interest in STEAM Careers, which indicates that over 75% of a students enjoyed the STEM camp. These results were a increase because when the students took the post survey their results stated that there was a 71% rate of uncertaintly on whether they had an interest in STEM careers.

The problem and the educational program responseMany kids today are uneducated on the subject of drones and what they do for us. There are hundreds of uses for drones and not many people know what they can be used for. The drone industry is a growing field, especially in the agriculture sector. There will be many job availabilities in the future within this industry, so making sure the upcoming workforce is aware of these opportunities is important.The participants/target audienceThe participant
