4-H SET is the 4-H program's response to our nation's concern for improving human capacity and workforce ability in the areas of science, engineering, and technology (SET). It combines non-formal education processes, hands-on, and inquiry-based learning in a youth development context to increase literacy and engage youth in improving their knowledge, skills, and abilities in science, engineering, and technology.
4-H SET combines the strengths of 4-H programming and non-formal experiential-based delivery modes with strong youth/adult partnerships to address content as defined by the National Education Science Standards and practice SET abilities in order to prepare our youth to compete in the 21st century workplace.
