PROJECTS

4-H projects are the educational experiences that youth who are members of 4-H participate in. These can be club, county, and state supported projects, or they can be projects that 4-H members determine for themselves, research through various methods, and then conduct a learning strategies in, such as a presentation, speech, workshops, fieldtrips, and/or recordbook. These types of projects are call “self-directed” projects and are not supported with educational materials by the Texas 4-H and Youth Development Program. Other state or national 4-h programs may have resources to support your project.

Typically, all projects must consist of at least six learning experiences that last from 45 minutes to one hour and include the assistance of an adult or leader.

Projects that are self-directed can include, but not limited to, such topics as: aerospace, automotive, electric, exotic animals, small engines, and small animals.
