Virtual 4-H Science Club

TEXAS 4-H PARTNERS WITH HILL COUNTRY SCIENCE MILL TO CREATE FIRST VIRTUAL 4-H SCIENCE CHALLENGE CLUB

Do you LOVE science and want to experience it in a new way? Then you need to plan to join Texas 4-H as we welcome a new educational partner to Texas.  On February 14, 2015 from 10 am to 6 pm, the Hill Country Science Mill will celebrate their grand opening in Johnson City. This awesome hands-on experience will allow youth (and adults) to engage in a variety of science, engineering, and technology themed exhibits.

Texas 4-H is proud to be partnering with the Hill Country Science Mill to host a virtual "Science Sleuth Challenge" for youth who have visited the Mill and then log on to the their website after returning home.  This "first of its kind" virtual 4-H Science Club allows youth from Texas, the United States, and even the world to participate in a variety of on-line science challenges where you can win virtual badges and possible invitations to present your challenge results at the Mill or other 4-H events. To participate in the 4-H Science Challenge you must have visited the Science Mill, so get your 4-H Club to plan a field trip in the Spring or this Summer - IT WILL BE AN AWESOME EXPERIENCE!!!

Additionally, look forward to future announcements for science based camps and workshops being held at the Hill Country Science Mill.  As a collaborator with the Hill County Science Mill we want as many 4-H members to take advantage of the unique and creative science workshops.
