4-H STEM | Cumberland County

In an ever-changing, increasingly complex world, it’s more important than ever that our nation’s youth are prepared to bring knowledge and skills to solve problems, make sense of information, and know how to gather and evaluate evidence to make decisions. These are the kinds of skills that students develop in science, technology, engineering, and math, including computer science—disciplines collectively known as STEM.

Extension helps prepare future leaders, neighbors, and workers to understand and solve some of the complex challenges of today and tomorrow and to meet the demands of the dynamic and evolving workforce.
