help 4-H help kids get into Science, Engineering and Technology... (Entered: 2010/01/29 14:33:54)

I'm looking for contacts to pass this on to or ideas of how to proceed...

My name is Ben Burnett I am a 4-H alumni from Iowa. I am an R&D Software engineer and am constantly watching for government RFP to find funding for projects I'm working on. I recently came across a DARPA effort to: "DARPA is interested in proposals with innovative new ideas to encourage students to major in CS-STEM (Computer Science - Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) and pursue careers as engineers and scientists."

I thought that maybe using this to help expand the current 4-H SET (http://4-h.org/programs_mission_mandates/set.html) program would be useful. If you are interested, you could find more information here:
