McClean County and Carlisle, Kentucky are both rural populations with a large farming community. With them being agricultural areas computer science is not a priority in preparing for future careers. 4-H Agents Nolan Petit and Cole Bell assessed the needs for clubs outside of the traditional model to start STEM clubs in their respective counties. The results were overwhelming with the clubs becoming full. Due to the high interest in STEM clubs, the 4-H agents requested a SPIKE Prime LEGO robotics training for themselves and a volunteer. Before the training began the participants indicated a comfort level of 2 with facilitating programs with the robotics systems verses a comfort level of 4.5 after the program, which shows a significant increase.
