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 utilized to express thoughts about how the design of the ocean bot could be improved to help gliding more efficiently.
