Join the 2025 Minnesota 4-H Engineering Design Challenge!
You’re invited to take part in the 2025 Minnesota 4-H Engineering Design Challenge (EDC): Putt It Together - 4-H Mini Golf Challenge, where teams design a machine that hits a golf ball and sinks a hole in one! This is sure to be a fun and challenging opportunity for youth to apply engineering design practices and develop their teamwork and communication skills. The challenge is for youth in grades 3+ and offers youth the choice of a Rookie Level (new in 2025), Level 1, or Level 2 experience. The EDC showcase will be held in the 4-H Building during the Minnesota State Fair. Individuals or families interested in being on a county team should contact their local 4-H educator. We’re looking forward to our twelfth year of celebrating the Minnesota 4-H Engineering Design Challenge! For questions about team registration, contact Lauren Backes (backes@umn.edu).
