Please take a few minutes to respond to these questions:

1. What engineering programs are you currently providing in your county?
2.  Do you have any volunteers who would be willing to spend the weekend sharing their knowledge with our campers and adults interested in starting a program?
3. What are your biggest obstacles to running an engineering project in your county?
4. What are your biggest obstacles to sending 4-Hers to the State Fair Engineering Contest?
