The United States is falling dangerously behind other nations in developing its future workforce of scientists, engineers, and technology experts. To ensure global competitiveness, we must act now to prepare the next generation of science, engineering, and technology leaders. 4-H will address our nation's critical challenge by preparing 1 million new young people to excel in science, engineering, and technology by 2013.

Check out “Flip N’ Flow,” a brand-new, interactive online game featuring Nickelodeon’s animated boy-genius Jimmy Neutron. The game is in support of 4 H’s Science, Engineering and Technology communications campaign to spark youth interest in science and Nickelodeon’s “Big Green Help” environmental awareness campaign.

Check out the feature article on 4-H's science, engineering and technology programs from this month’s Mechanical Engineering magazine written by Virginia Cooperative Extension’s Kathleen Jamison. The 4-page byline includes interviews with California 4-H agent Richard Mahacek, University of Nebraska-Lincoln Associate Professor Bradley Barker, and young 4-H alumni from California and Iowa.
