result. Mallory decided to campaign Smart Lil Cannon early this spring as not only a barrel horse but as an all around performance horse and has done fantastic with taking a young horse who really didn\u2019t know much about any of these disciplines to a shining star. She is still competing in Regional Barrel competitions with him.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Stem Exploration Day<br \/>\n<\/strong>June 26<sup>th<\/sup>, 2018<br \/>\nSTEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) Explorations Day was a brand-new program developed through a partnership of Aroostook County 4-H, the Cooperative Extension, and UMPI. \u00a0Aroostook county students, in grades 7-11, were invited to attend a special day on the UMPI campus in late June.\u00a0\u00a0During this day UMPI Faculty and 4-H staff guided them through hands-on explorations in bird identification, geology samples, soil investigations, and DNA extraction. \u00a0The 10 young ladies and one gentleman who attended enjoyed working with real equipment on an actual university campus and loved getting the small group time with college professors. All of the students expressed a strong desire to attend any future STEM events that UMPI and 4-H hosted.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Coding Camp<br \/>\n<\/strong>July 9<sup>th<\/sup> -13<sup>th<\/sup>, 2018<br \/>\nCoding Camp: \u00a0My two 4-H volunteers and I were joined by 12 middle school students for an entire week of coding, team building, and physical games and activities centered around computational thinking. \u00a0We were joined for two days by Ben Seegee, who works for the UMaine Learn to Mod project, and by Sabrina De Los Santos, a Research Associate with the STEM Education Evaluation Center of TERC. \u00a0During our week I also invited members of the community to come in and describe how they utilize computers during their work day. \u00a0The computer programs and training were part of a National Science Foundation Grant and our county 4-H provided nutritious snacks each day.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Just for Boys Camp<br \/>\n<\/strong>This camp is targeted to boys, aged 7-12, who have minimal positive male role models in their life. \u00a0Most of the boys come from homes below the poverty level with high school being the highest educational level of parental figures. \u00a0The daily camp is three weeks long and is free for the 30+ boys who participate. When boys age out of the camp they can then become junior mentors and still attend. \u00a0This year&#8217;s theme was Under Construction &#8211; a building based theme. The first week was an entomology unit and we built model insects and insect habitats. The second week we engineered prototype sailing craft and the third week we had a series of STEM building challenges and investigated our insect habitats.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>University College Houlton Summer Literacy Program: \u00a0<\/strong><br \/>\nUCHoulton invited Aroostook County 4-H to create and teach two programs for their summer literacy time. \u00a0The first program was centered on geology and identifying rocks by igneous, sedimentary or metamorphic. The second program was creating maracas and learning traditional American music songs.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<ul>\n<li>The Northern Maine fair has just wrapped up and we are looking towards the end of year paperwork.<\/li>\n<li>Project records will be due in the Presque Isle office and Houlton office no later than October 2, 2018.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Please help me welcome five new leaders to 4-H:\u00a0 LouAnne Langley (4-H Family PACT), Nancy Pytlak (The County Equestrians), Matthew McKenna (Baby Beef), Roy Little (The County Equestrians), and Lisa Kelly (The County Equestrians).<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4>Aroostook County 4-H Leaders Association meeting<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Thursday, September 13, 2018 at 6pm Via Zoom.<br \/>\n<\/strong>We will be discussing; NMF Food booth checks\/profit\/loss, fundraisers, upcoming year and more.\u00a0 If you have anything you would like to add please email Joe Boyce at <a href=\"mailto:joseph.boyce1977@gmail.com\">joseph.boyce1977@gmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><strong>4-H Market Animal Projects<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><strong>Baby Beef and Market Hogs:<br \/>\n<\/strong>If you would like to raise an animal for auction, please contact the person next to the animal you would like to raise.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Baby Beef members must be 10 years old before January 1, 2019.
