Join Kate Williams, a member of 4-H for over 15 years, as she presents a 4-H program for children in grades 3 through 6. The program, will be a hands on opportunity for youth to explore electricity and circuits. The first STEM Activity (an activity that uses Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math to spark critical thinking and creativity) will allow youth to create a circuit from play dough, batteries, wires and LED lights. Squishy circuits, as they are called, help youth learn about electricity in a fun and safe way. This will be followed by an opportunity to learn more about electricity by making a Lava Lamp.
In the course of the program, Kate will share her personal experience with the Lincoln County 4-H program which is free to all. 4-H supports families with children who work together to learn new skills, gain real-life experience, and develop their leadership potential while at the same time having fun and serving the local community.
