4-H to the Rescue

Three children, wearing capes and standing with fists raised.

Leah Angel, David Angel, and Van Oliver of DeSoto County

Junior 4-H’ers, ages 8–13, and Cloverbuds, ages 5–7, with a passion for STEAM—science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics—gathered at Mississippi State University in late June for 4-H STEAM Day. Hundreds of young people came together to participate in contests, fly unmanned aerial vehicles, construct LEGO buildings, and enjoy a range of fun activities.

4-H is delivered by the MSU Extension Service.
