4-H Open House/Project Fair/Clvoerbud Event

We will be conducting our 4-H Open House/Project Fair/Cloverbud Event this Saturday, March 4 from 9 to 11 a.m. at the Ramser 4-H Activity Center.  This is event is a trifecta.  It is an open house to attract new members and families to learn more about the Knox County 4-H program.  We will have all of the project books on display for members that are already a part of our program, to look through and try to find a new topic to explore on their journey this year.  And if you know of new members that are going to be Cloverbuds or have current Cloverbuds, Lindsey will be doing a make and take activity on pin wheels with them that morning.

We are still looking for:

  • Clubs to set up displays to attract new families to join 4-H.
  • Members to set up project displays so members and families can interact with them to learn more about what goes into a 4-H project.

Please reach out if you would like more information or would like to commit to set up on Saturday.

What is the Cloverbot Challenge?

The Ohio 4-H Cloverbot Challenge gives 4-H Cloverbuds the opportunity to work cooperatively in teams to problem-solve using STEM (science, engineering, technology and math) skills. A new theme is selected each year and teams  research a topic, build a working model of their solution to the Challenge issue and create a poster to illustrate their findings. Teams present their models and findings to a team of reviewers, learn about other Cloverbuds’ projects, participate in age-appropriate STEM activities and are recognized at a closing celebration.
