4-H Extension [1]
Sponsoring Unit(s):

Department of Project:

Project Description: 

The 4-H Tech Wizards program is designed to expose youth to technology, help them understand how to better utilize it, have some experiences with it and learn about different possible careers that involve technology. By becoming 4-H members, meeting for a set number of times as a 4-H group with a specific technology focus (using a broad spectrum of options) as a project, youth will learn about that technology as well as participate in community service. Each group will have the opportunity to have a family night where their families are invited to learn and see what the youth has been working on in the group.
