4-H Clover College is a four-day series of hands-on workshops for youth presented by Nebraska Extension in Lancaster County. The emphasis is on science, agricultural literacy, healthy living, career development and citizenship/leadership. Many of the projects made during the sessions are eligible to be exhibited at the Lancaster County Super Fair in August.
This year’s Clover College was held June 11–14 and featured 55 workshops with a total of 1,028 session registrations. New workshops this year included: “The Sweet Scoop — the Science of Ice Cream,” “Marble Run Challenge,” “Paintstik T-shirts,” “Mosaic Seed Art,” “Fun Thyme With Herbs” and “Animal Adaptations.”
Feedback included:
• “I enjoyed discovering what hobbies suit me. I enjoyed coming home with arms filled with tons of projects and memories.”
• “Learning new things and making cool crafts, petting horses & bunnies, and making ice cream.”
• “How to build a rocket and that’s how I met a friend.”
• “Marbling. I might teach it to my family if they want me to.”
