4-H Volunteers | OSU Extension Clermont County

The 4-H Advisory Committee is seeking your feedback!

October 26 2022October 26, 2022

You may have noticed the 4-H Outpost got a much needed facelift this year: fresh paint, new ceiling fans, supplies, and more! To better show off these new changes, the Clermont County 4-H Advisory Committee revised the ordering system to improve efficiency and ease of ordering.

Please help us more forward into 2023 by providing feedback about your experience.

Thank you so much for supporting the 4-H outpost. This survey will take about 5 minutes.

4-H STEM Day

July 29 2021

On Tuesday, July 27th Clermont County 4-H members participated in STEM Day, during the 2021 Clermont County Fair. Participants learned how to use a Sphero robot as an engine in a carriage of their own making. Participants had to ensure that their design for their carriage/chariot was: stable, swift, and capable of steering around or overcoming obstacles without losing their passengers (2 Ping Pong balls). Participants worked in teams and had a half hour to construct their carriage/chariot. Once participants completed their designs, the competition for 1st through 3rd place was on. The results and photos of the Sphero Races for STEM Day are as follows:
