Authored by: Jeffrey Sallee, Ph.D., Kristy Oosterhouse, Jake DeDecker, Steven Worker,
Amanda Meek and Donna Patton
TechXcite: Discover Engineering is an Engineering, Discovery and Project-based Engineering Afterschool program piloted by six US states (NC, WV, MI, MO, CA, and OK). Its multi-activity learning modules are in the process of passing through peer review and into the 4-H library for use by all 50 states. The paper will be presented
at the 2014 NAE4-HA conference (October 26-30) in Minneapolis, Minnesota Traditon and Transformation themed Annual Conference. The NAE4-HA Conference provides a unique opportunity for the TechXcite State Leaders to work together on a joint conference paper while celebrating the diversity of the individual organizations.
Poster Session on TechXcite at Galaxy IV Conference (Sept 16-20, 2013) by Kristy Oosterhouse and Jake DeDecker - The Galaxy Conference provides a unique opportunity to work together on a joint conference while celebrating the diversity of the individual organizations. Every five years the Joint Council of Extension Professionals (JCEP) sponsors and provides leadership for a Galaxy Conference for the entire Extension System. This conference invites participation from all JCEP organizations, ECOP and other partners critical to the Extension mission.
