Nearly all 4-H projects offer 4-H STEM programming. 4-H is committed to addressing our nation’s critical challenge to improve STEM literacy, increasing the number of students seeking postsecondary education in STEM, and increasing the number of young adults pursuing careers in STEM fields. 4‑H programs provide 4‑H youth the opportunity to learn about Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) through fun, hands-on activities and projects.

Tennessee 4-H’s Backyard STEM Program
Stewardship of our natural resources is founded on actions learned early in life. There is a great need to expose our youth to the science of the environment using applications that excite and intrigue. Backyard STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) is an environmental science program focusing on getting students outside or bringing the outside into the classroom for experiential learning about our environment.
