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.
