Barker, Eric Killian, and William P. Evans  \nYoung people in the U. S. are falling behind their peers in the rest of the developed world in science, technology, engineering, and math. The Program for International Student Assessment study, conducted every three years, ranked the U. S. 24th in math and science out of 29 countries in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (Baldi et al., 2007) .  \nOut-of-school time programs can support young people in learning science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) concepts and skills. A decade of research and evaluations (National Institute on Out-of-School Time, 2009) provides strong evidence that afterschool programs make a difference in the lives of youth who attend.  \n4-H—one of the oldest and largest out-of-school youth development programs in the country—can make a unique contribution. Its roots in the national land-grant university system give 4-H substantial experience in developing hands-on STEM programming that engages young people. Moving beyond its rural and agricultural roots, 4-H is tak-  \ning this expertise into urban settings. A twelve-week introductory science program piloted by University of Nevada Cooperative Extension 4-H Youth Development in three Nevada cities illustrates how 4-H’s experiential learning model can engage urban youth in science learning.  \nThe 4-H Model of Experiential Learning  \n4-H is sponsored by cooperative extension programs inland-grant universities located in every state of the nation. The original mission of these institutions was to teach agri-  \nWALtEr A. BArKEr, Ph. D., is an extension specialist for 4-H Youth Development at the University of Nevada Cooperative Extension. His major emphasis is combining experiential learning with educational programs in science, technology, engineering, and math to enhance and develop life skills such as critical thinking, problem solving, decision making, and teamwork to prepare youth for global competitiveness.

Today’s land-grant universities continue tobe open and accessible to the public. Their 4-H youth programs, which are available in nearly every county in the nation, provide opportunities to millions of young people (Washington State University Extension, 2009) .  \n4-H is the largest out-of-school youth development program in the U.S., with over 7 million members and  \n500,000 teen and adult volunteers (4-H National Headquarters, 2009). It is also one of the oldest, having begun between 1890 and 1900 (Iowa State University, 2009). 4-H has a track record of providing a variety of positive youth outcomes, including personal and life skills development as well as career development (Arnold, 2004; Hendrick, Homan, & Dick, 2009; Rockwell, Stohler, & Rudman, 1984). The program started in order to provide youth in rural areas with knowledge in agriculture and other practical areas as well as with life skills and support for career goals. Today, 4-H’s innovation, creativity, and diversity of programs can foster the development of capable young people not only in rural areas but also in cities and towns.  \nThe 4 “H”s of the organization’s name are:  \n• Head: cognition, critical thi","cbCaips4JjJ3BFRm","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaips4JjJ3BFRm","pdf",460018,"English","# The STEM challenge and the role of out-of-school time\n## Evidence for learning impact\n# 4-H’s contribution in urban settings\n## The 12-week New Faces, New Places pilot\n# The 4-H model of experiential learning\n## Do - Reflect - Apply\n## Cooperative learning and engagement\n# The 4-H Science and Technology Program\n## Program purpose and design","[{\"question\":\"Why are out-of-school time STEM programs important?\",\"answer\":\"Out-of-school time programs support youth in building STEM concepts and skills.
