Kris's Korner |
 This month we invite you to visit a new blog by our Executive Director, Kris Fish Kuhlmann. You won't want to miss out on the stories she uncovers on her journeys across Iowa. She will share bits and pieces of Iowa 4-H's rich history and the amazing stories of our current 4-H youth, families and volunteers. If you have a 4-H story to share, please email Kris at fund4h@iastate.edu. We hope you're inspired!

National 4-H Youth Science Day |
 During National 4-H Week, Oct. 7-13, Iowa youth joined hundreds of thousands of youth throughout the United States in conducting innovative experiments to celebrate 4-H National Youth Science Day among other celebrations.
Counties from across the state participated in the 4-H Eco-Bot Challenge last week. Students explored how robots can be used to preserve and protect the environment, while offering a glimpse into the future of science, technology, engineering and math.
4-H National Youth Science Day is part of 4-H's national One Million New Scientists effort, with a goal of attracting 1 million new youth to science, engineering and technology programs by 2013. |
