On October 8, 2008 the 4-H Youth Development Program launched its first-ever 4-H National Youth Science Day as part of a larger effort to help build America's future science, engineering, and technology workforce.
The 2008 National Science Experiment focused on the environment, using science principles to teach youth across the country about the importance of water conservation. Science education expert Steve Spangler worked closely with 4-H and Dr. Bob Horton, 4-H science education specialist for The Ohio State University Extension, to create the experiment and related activities, which was made available to the 6 million 4-H youth plus parents, teachers, students, and youth organizations nationwide.
