This club is an option for independent members who wish to engage more fully in the experience of 4-H and participate in a non-topic specific club.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It will involve participation in 2-3 meetings per year (as decided by county), one at the beginning of the 4-H year for planning, one optional check-in midway through the year, and one at the end for reflection and sharing in conjunction with the below requirements.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The purpose of these meetings is to allow independent members to connect with each other, build relationships with each other and county staff, and share project goals and progress.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you are new to 4-H or already an independent member, we encourage you to join us! Somerset County\u2019s initial meeting will be a virtual event on Monday, December 5th at 6:30 pm. Sign up on the <a href=\"https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/4h\/youth\/independent-member-club\/independent-club-registration\/\">registration page<\/a> or contact us at <a href=\"mailto:karen.giles@maine.edu\">karen.giles@maine.edu<\/a> or 207-474-9622 for more information.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b><a id=\"robotics\"><\/a>Robotics Programming<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There has been interest expressed in robotics programming from several clubs. Are any other clubs interested in participating in some programming as a group or on a club level? It would start with the \u201cJunk Drawer Robotics\u201d curriculum and progress from there if members are interested. These could help qualify for a robotics project\/pin. No coding or specialized knowledge required. It\u2019s a great way to introduce some STEM programming. Please reach out to <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">karen.giles@maine.edu<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> if you are interested or if you have interest in another area.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b><a id=\"afterschool\"><\/a>Afterschool Programs<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Calling all schools, libraries, and clubs! If you are looking for afterschool programming, the STEM Ambassador program from UMaine can offer amazing opportunities. Each program will consist of four one-hour sessions, and materials will be provided. Sites can choose facilitation in person or virtually. If a site is virtual they will need to ensure that each youth joins from a separate device.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Target audience is grades 3-8, with a preferred group size of 4-10 youth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>We need your help recruiting sites!<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Because we have a virtual option, the opportunity for sites that are not adjacent to a campus is much more feasible. While the fall programs are full, it is time to start thinking about winter and spring opportunities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For more information check out the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/4h\/stem-ambassadors\/host-sites\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">STEM Ambassador program page<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> or contact the 4-H professional <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">karen.giles@maine.edu<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> at the Somerset Extension office.
