The problem
Following our December dissection lab, our 4-H community requested more hands- on STEM opportunities for youth to participate in.
The educational program response
With the help of 4 UK Medical School students who expressed interest in volunteering with 4-H, they created and hosted a highly hands-on workshop for youth to explore medical sciences. Youth learned and experienced suturing, how to splint injuries, stop the bleed, and treat burns.
The participants/target audience
4-H youth aged 8-18 (20 youth participants)
Other partners (if applicable)
UK Medical School students; Fayette County Public Schools
