How 4-H is growing and adapting with today's society

4-H started as rural youth taking projects like sewing, animals, and other farm based concepts. As times have changed, so has the program. I feel this is why 4-H is still so popular and gaining new interest. The following link is about the new 4-H robotics curriculum from the National 4-H website. I think this is super cool and a great way to stay up with the current trends of society. These projects will hopefully catch the attendion of a new audience of youth and interest them in the program. These projects are just another example of how the 4-H program is teaching through the STEM principles. I am really interested to see what is next for the 4-H program!!!
