Want to learn about robotics, rocketry, or different kinds of science? Kids can join the STEM program with the DeWitt County 4-H Extension this January. New Extension Program Coordinator for the DeWitt 4-H Lindsey Burden says the STEM programs is for five weeks where they learn new skills.
The STEM programs are high school students teaching younger kids kindergarten to 5th-grade various activities throughout five weeks. The STEM programs have limited seats as the last art program 4-H had was full and had to turn away some kids said Burden.
The next STEM program will start January 9, but registration begins December 26. Visit go.illinois.edu/dmp to sign up. There is a fee of 15 dollars to attend the programs. Each session meets every Wednesday from 3:30 to 4:45 pm located at Schneider Elementary School cafeteria in Farmer City.
