Special 4-H Programs for Schools
Buncombe County 4-H is also excited to offer special classroom programs in addition to our 4-H School Enrichment curriculum. The programs listed below are typically one-day programs where Extension agents and volunteers come into the classroom and conduct the educational activities. Some of these can be conducted any time during the school year while others are for special seasons. Contact the N.C. Cooperative Extension of Buncombe County office to learn more and see how these could be brought to your classroom.
National Youth Science Day:
National Youth Science Day (NYSD) provides access and opportunity for kids to learn about STEM topics (science, technology, engineering, and math) by participating in a hands-on STEM challenge. For the past 11 years, 4‑H has developed hands-on challenges that shows kids how STEM skills can be applied to the world around them. NYSD is celebrated nationally on October 1, with events taking place throughout the month of October and beyond in classrooms, clubs, homes and afterschool spaces across the country. Annually, NYSD reaches nearly 250,000 kids at thousands of events across all 50 states with the fun, hands-on challenges that change from year to year. Check out the link below to learn more about National Youth Science Day and contact N.C. Cooperative Extension in Buncombe County to see how your classroom can get involved.
Agricultural Literacy Day:
Join us in celebrating the important role agriculture plays in our local, state, and national economy and help your students learn how agriculture provides us with food, fiber, and other essential products. N.C. Cooperative Extension of Buncombe County agents and volunteers visit approximately 1,500 students every Spring through our Ag Literacy Days! Our volunteers are available to come into your classroom for a short educational program targeting elementary grades. We’ll read a short book which is donated to the school’s library and then do a fun hands-on activity like making butter, making seed necklaces, or playing pollinator games. Registration for this event is usually completed in February and March each year so contact us before then to get your school and classes involved.
