Last month the University of Illinois Extension office offered what they call a Nature Explorers Spin Club activity. Sara Marten, 4-H Youth Development Educator, says that it was so popular in April, they are offering it again in May.
Marten explains this is a different kind of event than they usually do because this puts the timetable in the hands of the participants.
Since the kids are tasked with completing this on their own there isn’t any obvious room for instructors to be involved. Marten says that is where technology comes in.
There will be a few differences in what supplies the U of I Extension Office can give out this time around.
