Calling Cloverbud Advisors!
Ohio 4-H has released a cool, new program for the 2023 season. It’s called CLOVERBUD ENGINEERING ADVENTURE! The 2023 theme is: “TRAVEL THROUGH TIME!”
This program is replacing the previous program called “Cloverbot Challenge.” But there are lots of ways to get your 
cloverbuds, excited, learning & engaged! And before you panic that it’s STEM-related, know that it is a great lesson/idea-starter for your kids to take a look back in history too!
Cloverbuds are challenged to explore the past & imagine the future! Encourage your cloverbuds to discuss historic events that shaped our present – review trends in clothing, transportation, housing and more!
The Challenge is to design a model that includes moving parts. It could be a timeline, a machine, or a specific “thing” from a different time period. Maybe that’s a futuristic vehicle, or a horse & buggy. Maybe it is a futuristic house vs. an old log cabin. The actual challenge has more intricate “rules” but if you’re using this within your club, get creative! As a cloverbud advisor, you can use this Challenge as a FANTASTIC idea starter to encourage learning with your kiddos!
*You are NOT required to participate in this program – but you’re welcome to use the planning guide & idea starters to build a plan for your meetings! Maybe this would be a great addition to the Cloverbud Booth at fair! The sky is the limit & the possibilities are endless!
