Youth will also become familiar with the terms and conditions of welding.  \nWelding projects will be judged on weld consistency in weld size and length, lack of imperfections, appropriateness of welds used, overall appearance and neatness. Any welding process and mode of transfer is allowed but must be noted on the required Information/Craft Card.  \nState Fair Entries:  \nNo state fair entries for this project – Parke County Only Project  \nExhibit Guidelines:  \n1. Open to any 4-H member. Member may exhibit completed welding project, educational poster or both.  \n2. Enrolled youth must complete the previous division prior to advancing to the next division. Members with prior welding experience may appeal to the Extension Educator to exhibit at an advanced division.  \n3. In addition to a welding project or educational poster, each member will complete a project general record sheet.  \n4. Accommodations can be made for judging for items too large to be displayed at the fair. Arrangements must be made with Extension Educator prior to project check-in to make arrangements. Image of item exhibited will be taken for display at the fair.  \nWelding Exhibit Requirements  \nDivision I (suggested Grades 3-5)  \n1. Exhibit 1 item by joining 2 pieces of metal using at least one of the following weld types: butt joint, tee joint, or lap joint  \n2. Attach a simple drawing with weld symbols identified on Information/Craft Card and additional pages as needed  \n3. Project ideas and suggestions: chipping hammer, step stool, coat rack, c clamps, boot scraper, flower pot holder, tool stand, horseshoe sign, tool box, flower trellis, shooting target, pipe whistle  \nDivision II (suggested Grades 6-8)  \n1. Exhibit item of your own creation, which includes three of the four welding positions (flat, horizontal, overhead or vertical) and label each.  \n2. Attach a simple drawing with weld symbols identified on Information/Craft Card and additional pages as needed  \n3. Project ideas and suggestions: tool stand/rack, milking stand, steel post driver, coffee table, tool base, work/car ramps, rolling work stool, portable welder base, hay rack/feeder, hand cart, corner welding fixture with clamps  \nDivision III (suggested Grades 9-12)  \n1. Exhibit one or more items of your own creation, which includes three of the four welding positions (flat, horizontal, overhead, or vertical) and label each.  \n2. Attach a simple drawing with weld symbols identified on Information/Craft Card and additional pages as needed  \n3. Project ideas and suggestions: Adjustable jacks, portable loading chute, garden cart,  \nmechanics floor creeper, pipe saw horses, trailer, welding table/stand, 3 point hitch tractor hoist, snow blade, hand cart, tool rack  \n4. Educational Poster Exhibit Requirements  \nAll posters, notebooks, and display boards must include a reference list indicating where information was obtained, giving credit to the original author, to complete the 4-H member’s exhibit. This reference list should/might include web site links, people and professionals interviewed, books, magazines, etc. It is recommended this reference list be attached to the back of a poster or display board, be the last page of a notebook, or included as part of the display visible to the public. A judge is not to discredit an exhibit for the way references are listed.  \nPosters are to be 22”x28” and displayed horizontally and placed in a clear plastic sleeve or covered with clear plastic to protect contents. Display boards should be designed to sit on a table using no more than 36” of tabletop space. Space should be left in the lower righ","cbCaia9XmHOhFyPf","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaia9XmHOhFyPf","pdf",277316,"English","# Project Overview\n## Judging Criteria\n# State Fair Entries\n# Exhibit Guidelines\n# Welding Exhibit Requirements\n## Division I (Grades 3-5)\n## Division II (Grades 6-8)\n## Division III (Grades 9-12)\n# Educational Poster Exhibit Requirements","[{\"question\":\"What do youth learn in the welding project?\",\"answer\":\"Youth learn different welding methods, how to match materials to welding types, and gain working knowledge of machines and equipment.
