Our success stories

4-H Tech Changemakers’ Impact

Speedway to Healthy is an interactive, walk-through exhibit designed to help elementary-aged children learn about their bodies and healthy lifestyle choices. Through the exhibit and standards-based classroom activities, kindergarten through fifth grade students explore healthy eating, body systems, and wellness practices. Speedway to Healthy is dedicated to enhancing childhood health and nutritional knowledge throughout North Carolina.

4-H Survey: Young People Recognize AI Skills are Essential for Future Careers, Many Feel Unprepared

WASHINGTON, D.C., June 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — As artificial intelligence reshapes the future of work, young people are already adjusting their career plans. A new national survey from 4-H shows that 41% of youth have changed the jobs they want because of AI. At the same time, many do not feel prepared with the skills they need to succeed in an AI-driven workforce.

“We are here to educate youth about work and life skills, including digital literacy. Right now, AI is at the forefront. It’s no longer a future skill; it’s a current expectation. Our job is to provide them with the skills and support to integrate AI into the work they are already doing,” said Dr. Mark Light, North Carolina A&T STEM Specialist. “You can still build critical thinking, ethical judgement and responsible use through using the platforms, so it enhances the work they are already doing.”

Game of Drones Creates Coding Mastery

4-H teaches youth to be leaders; Game of Drones teaches some of them to be “Ruler of Earth and Sky.” Two teams of 4-H youth — one comprised of middle school students and one of high schoolers— won that distinction at an April 29 competition called Game of Drones, offered by the 4-H STEM program of Cooperative Extension at N.C. A&T in collaboration with STEMerald City LLC, a Fayetteville-based organization that provides STEM tutoring and hands-on learning.
