This program focuses on incorporating engineering design and maker activities into 4-H Animal Science Programs. This session centered on Biosecurity is designed to provide an avenue for youth interested in learning about animals who do not have access to live animals, while also providing STEM learning opportunities for more traditional 4-H livestock members. Each team received a kit of hands-on “maker” and robotics activities for youth in grades 3-8. Teams also informed youth aboutwhere their food comes from throughout the training sessions.
