Showcasing What You've Learned

You can create a project exhibit to showcase what you’ve learned while working on your project. Project exhibits are submitted for judging at the annual Marion County 4-H Showcase. Create an exhibit (poster, notebook, display board, or thing) that shows the public what you learned/did!

Suggested Projects

• Junk Drawer Robotics project
• Food science poster or notebook
• Science experiment displayed as a poster or notebook
• Alternative energy experiment poster or notebook
• Engineering demonstration

Exhibit Guidelines

• Create an educational poster, notebook, or display about any STEM topic of your choice that is age/grade appropriate.
• Exhibits must include a completed 4-H General Record Sheet.
• Marion County 4-H poster exhibit guidelines and tips
• A reference list must be included with your poster, notebook, or display board.

Exhibits

• Choose any STEM topic you like and create a poster or notebook.
• A reference list must be included with your poster or notebook.
• Cloverbud projects are for exhibition only (not judged), so there are no score cards, and exhibits are not eligible to advance to the State Fair.
