Looking for hands-on activities to engage
your kids? It's never too early to introduce
them to important STEM subjects at home.
STEM stands for science, technology,
engineering and mathematics. These
subjects are critical for all students to learn
because they are required for so many careers
in the future. In fact, STEM jobs are growing
faster than any other U.S. sector, according
to Wired magazine.
If you're looking for fun, hands-on STEM
projects to do with your child, 4-H is a
tremendous resource! 4-H utilizes exciting
topics like robotics, rocketry, computer
science and even electrical engineering to
teach youth problem solving, creative and
critical thinking, and build excitement for
technology and STEM careers. To reach
more youth with STEM programs, the
National 4-H Council has partnered with
HughesNet, America's #1 choice for satellite
Internet, to help introduce youth to hands-
on, community-based STEM learning.
HughesNet is a national sponsor of 4-H
National Youth Science Day (4-H NYSD),
the world's largest youth-led STEM
challenge. 4-H NYSD projects can be used by
local clubs, families, homeschoolers and
teachers to give youth a fun way to learn
about STEM.
Here are three exciting NYSD STEM projects
that are so much fun, your child will think
it's playtime, not work time.
