National 4-H Survey
The National 4-H Council wants to know what great things 4-H youth members are doing today in science, engineering and/or technology projects. Their stories will be used to share the great work already going on in 4-H around science, engineering and technology through newsletters, online stories and press coverage. Please note that there is a system in place to connect with the parents and county 4-H Extension agents prior to interviewing or writing stories on the youth chosen.
Below is a 10-minute survey link
to help find their great stories. Survey responses are needed
by Friday, April 11th.

Imagine Tomorrow - High School Competition for Innovative Minds
Demand for clean energy, the threat of global warming, and the question of how to transition to an economy based on alternatives to fossil fuels are concerns for everyone. These tough issues demand focused research and a commitment that spans communities, governments, and industries. But the best solutions start with great ideas – like yours.
That's what this high school energy competition is all about. This exciting science-based program focused on energy issues is for high school youth in public or private high schools or those engaged in home schooling.
