4-H STEM & Project Camp Engages Youth Despite the Pandemic

Utilizing social distancing practices, Oklahoma County youth ages 8-14 had the opportunity to participate in a fun, engaging day full of hands on learning. Youth in attendance learned how to develop projects, engage in science experiments, and see what 4-H has to offer. This camp was also a valuable experience for some of our older 4-H’ers as most of the workshops were taught by them. This gave them the opportunity to develop their leadership, and teaching abilities.
