What is the Cloverbud Engineering Adventure?
The Ohio 4-H Cloverbud Engineering Adventure (formerly known as 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 adventure challenge and create a poster to illustrate their findings. Teams present their models and findings to a team of reviewers, learn about other Cloverbud projects, participate in age-appropriate STEM activities, and are recognized during a closing celebration.
Up, up and away with the 2025 Ohio 4-H Cloverbud Engineering Adventure. This year’s adventure will get Cloverbuds thinking about the science of flight whether in an airplane, a helicopter or even a hot air balloon. They will have opportunities for discovery, creativity and problem solving as they explore this year’s challenge.
Let your Cloverbud’s imaginations soar as they explore different types of aircraft that fly within earth’s atmosphere. Use the questions above and other learning opportunities to narrow down to one type of aircraft. Create a model of your aircraft in action.
