Tennessee 4-H offers hands-on STEM learning that helps youth explore science, technology, engineering, and math in meaningful ways. Nearly all 4-H project areas include STEM concepts, giving students at every grade level opportunities to investigate real-world challenges and build skills that support success in secondary education and beyond.



STEM at Camping Centers
Each of Tennessee’s four 4-H Centers provides year-round STEM programming for students, teachers, and special interest groups. These centers host standards-based lessons, outdoor investigations, and hands-on lab activities that bring STEM concepts to life. A recent $45.25 million state investment will add dedicated STEM centers at each site, expanding lab capacity, technology access, and opportunities for youth to take part in high-quality STEM learning closer to home. Contact any of the 4-H Centers to schedule a program or plan an educational visit.
Local STEM Efforts
Every one of Tennessee’s 95 counties offers its own mix of STEM activities shaped by local needs and interests. County Extension offices lead hands-on projects, workshops and community programs that strengthen STEM literacy and encourage youth to pursue further education and careers in STEM fields. Contact your local Extension Office to explore the opportunities available in your area.
