Ohio 4-H Cloverbot Challenge
This year we’re going to space and the challenge happens on Mars! Cloverbuds will design a place to live on the Red Planet and create a model featuring their method of transportation. The 4-H Cloverbot Challenge will be virtual via Zoom on Monday, July 12 or Thursday, July 22 from 6:30-8 p.m. All teams must register by June 30 and new teams can order a kit to help them get started at a reduced rate thanks to support from the Ohio 4-H Foundation.
For all details: visit https://ohio4h.org/families/cloverbuds/cloverbot-challenge
I am looking forward to seeing many Greene County Cloverbuds!
Update: Flexibility is the Key this Year
As with 2020, 2021 seems to be a year that flexibility is needed. We announced several weeks ago about pre-fair judging dates. Late last week, the Ohio State Fair made an announcement that their event will be starting earlier in July and closed to the public. For more information on Ohio State Fair, please click here.
As a result, we need additional time to get non-livestock delegates registered and enrolled in their respective project areas based on judges decisions on judging day. We will be moving pre-fair judging day to Wednesday, June 30, and Thursday, July 1. We are in the process of working on the exact schedule for projects each day. All youth will need to register and sign up for their time slot(s). More information will be coming soon. We will be able to offer a zoom interview for those who are not able to attend in person that day.
Thanks again for your patience and understanding as we move through this year.
