Thanks to funding secured by the Indiana 4-H Foundation and gifted by the Indiana Energy Association, Indiana Soybean Alliance, and Indiana Corn Marketing Council, Hendricks County was able to make an investment of $2500 in STEM programming for local 4-H youth, preparing them to be for the future in a rapidly changing world.

This funding helped our robotics program secure up to date technology for the workshops that are put on year round! The culmination of this event was a "parking challenge" with a game board at the Hendricks County Fair!
