Young Iowa scientists are gearing up for the State Science and Technology Fair of Iowa April 5. Iowa State and Extension and Outreach are long-time sponsors of this annual event.
“Our 4-H youth development programs always have included hands-on STEM learning experiences with a solid focus on agricultural science, electricity, mechanics, entrepreneurship and natural sciences,” said 4-H STEM director Jay Staker. “Today, 4-H has grown to include rocketry, robotics, bio-fuels, renewable energy, computer science, environmental sciences and more.”
