Boks Kids Weekly Challenge

Engineering is about bringing ideas to life. This week we challenge you to build your own obstacle course within your classroom or at home. Run through your obstacle course for at least 10 minutes each day, making sure to modify the course every day to see what you can do to improve it or how you can change it, so you are challenged more progressively each day.

Take a Break This Summer!

Multi-tasking while on your 7th zoom of the day?
Stress eating as you work from your computer?

I understand; we’re all exhausted from the previous year. It has been a long year but the light is growing brighter at the end of the tunnel. With camp reimagined for this summer and potentially less time away from the county, here’s my recommendation – take a break!

2021 National Cooking Challenge

Penn State Extension is hosting the 2021 National 4-H Cooking Challenge on May 15 and 22, 2021. The challenge is for the individual or sibling group to apply their creativity, knowledge of nutrition, food preparation, food safety, and leadership skills to prepare a recipe using a secret ingredient and ingredients in their food pantry, and then make a presentation about the prepared dish to a panel of judges.
