STEM

Engineering: Youth apply the engineering design process to brainstorm, build, test, and improve hands-on structures or mechanical solutions to real-world challenges.

Electricity: Participants explore circuit basics using hands-on snap components to power real-world devices like lights, alarms, and fans while learning how electrical current flows.

LEGO® SPIKE Prime Robotics: Youth combine LEGO building components, sensors, and beginner-friendly block coding to solve fun engineering challenges and practice critical thinking.

Makey Makey Circuits: Kids connect everyday conductive items—like fruit or play-dough—to computers to create interactive buttons, blending circuitry concepts with creative invention.

Micro:bit Coding: Youth learn programming basics using Microsoft MakeCode to write, test, and upload code to a micro:bit microcontroller, seeing their digital ideas run on a physical device.

The 4‑H STEM project invites youth to explore the exciting world of science, technology, engineering, and math through hands‑on, minds‑on activities that make learning both fun and meaningful.

These interactive experiences help youth develop essential life skills such as problem‑solving, teamwork, communication, and creative thinking. By making STEM concepts accessible and engaging, the project encourages curiosity and builds confidence—opening doors to future learning and potential careers in STEM fields.
