In the 4-H Energy project, you’ll explore the exciting world of energy—what it is, where it comes from, and how it powers our lives. You’ll learn about different types of energy, how it transfers from one form to another, and how it can be used safely and responsibly. Through hands-on activities, you can build circuits, experiment with renewable energy sources, and discover how science, technology, and innovation connect to the energy we use every day. This project sparks curiosity, builds real-world skills, and helps prepare future problem-solvers to think about the energy challenges of tomorrow.
