Youth in Brown, Door, and Kewaunee counties will get a chance to explore science for the comfort of their own home next month with a little help from the area’s 4-H organizations. The UW Extension Offices in Brown, Door, and Kewaunee counties are teaming up with the University of Wisconsin-Madison Biotechnology Center to host the Northeast Wisconsin 4-H Science Summit on consecutive Saturdays in February. Participants in grades 5-8 will receive a kit to work on the science experiments at home while interacting with other youth and members of the UW Extension and UW Biotechnology Center teams.  Kewaunee County 4-H Educator Jill Jorgensen says this is another great opportunity for youth to learn in a virtual setting.

The weekly Zoom calls take place from 9-11 a.m. Saturday mornings on February 6th, 13th, and 20th and you do not need to be a 4-H member to participate. You can find more details on the Northeast Wisconsin 4-H Science Summit below.
