West Virginia families encouraged to participate in the National 'Bar of Soap' Video Challenge
Join WVU Extension Service as we encourage West Virginia families to take part in the Rube Goldberg Bar of Soap Video Challenge. Using creativity and innovation, your task is to build a machine that, through a chain of events, will drop a bar of soap in someone’s hands in 10-20 steps.
In addition to participating in the national Rube Goldberg Challenge, we want West
Virginia families to shine during this fun competition! WVU Extension Service and
Mylan STEMCARE will be awarding some fun prizes to a few winners.
Grab that bar of soap, review the official Rube Goldberg competition rules/guidelines
and start planning your winning machine. Visit
Mylan STEMCARE to find out how West Virginia families can participate
in the WVU Extension Service/Mylan STEMCARE competition.
Let’s Go!
Picture This! 4-H Challenge
We invite 4-H members and Cloverbuds to participate in the Picture This! 4-H Challenge. For this challenge, 4-H’ers are to explore their homes, neighborhoods, communities or other locations in search of objects that form letters to create a word. Participants can find the letters to spell out the name of their hometown or a word that describes the location such as home, forest, peace or joy.
Watch the Picture This! 4-H Challenge for Info
Who Can Participate: Youths who are of age to participate in 4-H are eligible
to participate (youths with birth dates between May 31, 1998 and June 30, 2014).
Steps to participate:

- Arrange the pictures into the word for display.
