Power of the Wind
Through 4H’s Science, Engineering and Technology programs (SET) they have developed a new program that focuses on wind power. Power of the Wind encourages critical thinking and creativity by engaging youth in hands-on activities and problem-solving projects. With only 5% of today’s college graduates earning degrees in science, technology and engineering, we are falling dangerously behind global competitors. Power of the Wind is meant to encourage these youth and show them that there are expanding opportunities for them. We want to spark their imaginations and build analytical, writing and computer skill sets.
