Youth Programs

BAE offers the opportunity for students to truly engage in experiential learning. The department administers the long standing 4-H Youth Electric program in electricity and provides summer pre-college workshops through the College of Engineering, allowing students to explore topics in biological and agricultural engineering.

4-H Electric Youth Program

The 4-H Electric Youth Program draws huge interest throughout the state. A highlight of the program is the 4-H Electric Congress, coordinated and planned annually by the department. The Congress brings 4-H participants from counties all over North Carolina for a three-day program focused on electrification. Attendance at the Congress is an earned opportunity for 4-H participants who have successfully completed a set of county-wide electric activities.
