Donaldson Company, Inc. is excited to join 4-H as a national sponsor in celebrating the 12th annual 4‑H National Youth Science Day (NYSD) when it kicks off across the country in October 2019. 4-H NYSD is an interactive learning experience that gets youth excited about science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), and spotlights the many ways millions of youth are engaging in 4-H Science programs year-round.
This year’s challenge, Game Changers, was designed by Google and West Virginia Extension service. The challenge, which features an interactive coding kit, teaches kids ages 8-14 how to use computer science (CS) to create games, solve problems and engage with topics they’re passionate about.
As a partner of 4-H, The Donaldson Foundation also focuses on providing impactful NYSD programming to youth in communities where Donaldson employees live and work. Employees at 17 plant locations across the U.S. raised their hands to facilitate NYSD activities in their local communities.
