Six middle school 4-H\u2019ers from Long County experienced \u201cMission Make-It\u201d at Rock Eagle 4-H Center on August 20th. This immersive learning experience focused on agricultural engineering with a 2022 theme of \u201cRooted in Agriculture.\u201d Students learned about the engineering design process and then built functional wheelbarrows and windmills from the concepts they learned. These two inventions have impacted agricultural operations across the world for centuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was great to see the teamwork, planning, and communication skills when building their engineering projects together. They enjoyed taking turns flying the drone the most though!\u201d said Shelby Mumma, 4-H Extension Educator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mission Make-It was created to introduce youth to careers in engineering and expose them to the ways that engineering impacts their lives. Jay Moon, representative of USDA\u2019s Farm Service Agency<\/a>, spoke to attendees about farm loans and career possibilities. Moon also brought a calf from his local dairy farm as a special guest for his presentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Agriculture and STEM<\/a><\/strong> programs are one of Georgia 4-H\u2019s focus areas and tends to use hands-on activities to develop problem-solving and critical thinking skills in young people. Join us as we continue to empower youth to become true leaders by developing necessary life skills, positive relationships, and community awareness.
