  7. 4-H Science, Engineering, and Technology Initiative • Discussion around • Staff Readiness Study • Professional Development • Lynn Schmitt-McQuitty

  8. 4-H Science, Engineering, and Technology Initiative • Western Region 4-H Science Academy • The California 4-H Youth Development Program in the UC ANR Youth, Families, and Communities Program has been selected to host the 2012 Western Region 4-H Science Academy, March 26-28, 2012 at UC Davis. • http://ucanr.org/sites/wregion4H/ • Martin Smith

  9. 4-H Science, Engineering, and Technology Initiative • Pre-Academy Events • Pre-Academy Webinars/Conference Calls: Webinars will be designed to introduce participants to the nature of each Academy Functional Area: • Curriculum • Evaluation • Fund Development • Partnerships • Professional Development)

  10. 4-H Science, Engineering, and Technology Initiative • In-Residence Events • Keynote speakers representing the field of nonformal science education. • Face-to-Face Workshops on the UC-Davis campus: Workshops will be designed in two distinct formats: • Content Area Specific Workshops (each participant will register for one content area): Animal Science; Environment, Ecosystems, and Natural Resources; Engineering & Technology; Food, Nutrition, and Family Consumer Science. • Academy Functional Areas (participants will choose two Academy Functional Areas): Curriculum Identification, Adaptation, and Development; Evaluation; Fund Development; Partnerships; Professional Development.

  11. 4-H Science, Engineering, and Technology Initiative In-Residence Events At the end of the Western Regional 4-H Science Academy, optional, fee-based field trips to local/area/regional science education centers and museums will be offered to participants (e.g., Exploratorium; Zeum; Lawrence Hall of Science; Discovery Museum Science and Space Center).

  12. 4-H Science, Engineering, and Technology Initiative Post-Academy Events Post-Academy Webinars/Conference Calls: Using a community of practice format, two post-webinars/conference calls will be made with each science content area group. An emphasis will be placed on the application of new knowledge and skills to participants’ state 4-H Science Initiatives.
