The 4-H Electric Program is a great way for youth to learn about the fundamentals of electricity, renewable energy technologies, and energy conservation. Youth that participate in the 4-H Electric program and attend hands on workshops, not only increase their knowledge and skills in the world of science and technology, but are also inclined to seek out other activities and experiences that expand their horizons.
Currituck County 4-H is hosting a series of electric workshops this fall. Youth ages 10 and up are welcome to attend all three or pick and choose what they want to attend.
