Project Record Books
Project record books is an area of 4-H competition where youth pick a project topic and keep records of their work associated with that topic. There are 9 categories that youth may choose from for project record book competition, many of which are agriculturally related. The records submitted as part of the record book include 4-H involvement, activities associated with the project topic, leadership, citizenship and community service involvement, awards and recognition received, and photos and supporting materials. The following Rowan County 4-H’ers received district level awards for their project record books:
Gold medal
Sara Blandino, Age 9-10, Category: Plant Science
Madisyn White, Age 9-10, Category: Citizenship & Civic Education
Silver medal
Christian Stebe, Age 11-12, Topic: Personal Development & Leadership
Bronze medal
Christian Stebe, Age 11-12, Topic: Environmental Science
Madisyn White, Age 9-10, Topic: Animal Science
4-H Presentations
4-H presentations allow 4-H’ers to explore a topic of interest and create a presentation on the topic, which will be presented to judges. These presentations allow youth to practice their public speaking skills. Youth can use props, displays, posters, or PowerPoint to aid in their presentation. There are over 30 presentation categories that a 4-H’er can choose from. These categories range from horticulture, agricultural science and livestock to cooking, health/fitness, and arts and communication. Youth are divided into age brackets for competition and only compete against those in the same category.
