SET Fun Days

Author: Dianna Reed

Planning Unit: Johnson County CES

Major Program: Science, Engineering, and Technology

Plan of Work: Youth Life Skills

Outcome: Initial Outcome

The Johnson County CEC and Adult 4-H Council identified Youth Life Skill Development as a program priority in the 4-year Plan of Work. To address this need, the 4-H Agent, Extension personnel and 4-H Council expanded School 4-H Club electricity programs to create a Family Summer Series of SET Fun Days to help youth ages 9-18 develop and practice life skills. They learned about power sources, current, conductors, and the jobs of a circuit. As a result, 7 people learned and practiced making circuits using the wiring diagrams of the SNAP circuit kits, and during the last session of the series, participants made Brushbots and modified their engineering to make them travel in circles, straight lines and held races to the finish line.
