Each member (regardless of age) needs to register in one of these classes.

An Engineering Design Challenge machine is based on Rube Goldberg, an overly complex contraption designed to accomplish a simple task. The best machines use a variety of everyday items to create a series of chain-reaction steps to accomplish a simple task.

Livestock Demonstrations: May or may not include the use of a live animal. Will want the demo to be livestock related. A State Fair trip is available for those that do a demo at county fair to do the demo at State Fair as well.Requirements:- Demonstration / Illustrated Presentations may be related to any project that the member is enrolled in or to any area of interest or expertise the 4-Her has. Presentations may be an individual or a two-person team. Individual presentations shall not exceed 15 minutes in length and team presentations should not exceed 25 minutes in length. - Demonstrations are an oral presentation that includes actually demonstrat-ing the hands-on steps required to accomplish a task or process. This most often includes the use of physical objects and actual doing or showing. For example, a demonstration could involve using bedding plants, potting soil and related items to demonstrate how to plant a flower pot. At the end of the Demonstration there should be something of a "finished product". Demon-strations may also include the use of supporting visuals like posters, charts or overhead transparencies. Supporting visuals can include technology based options like presentation software (i.e. MS PowerPoint). However, the focus of the Demonstration should be on the "doing", not the supporting visuals.- Illustrated Presentations are an oral presentation that presents an idea, con-cept, viewpoint or experience in an educational or informative format. For example, an Illustrated Presentation could be a report on leadership lessons learned through a trip to Washington DC or an educational presentation that explores sustainable energy options. Illustrated Presentations most often consist of interaction with supporting visuals like posters, charts or overhead transparencies. Supporting visuals can include technology based options like presentation software (i.e. MS PowerPoint). Supporting visu-als may include tangible items, but generally little or no activity takes place with the item. - Youth in Action presentations are interactive, continuous presentations that are approximately 45 - 50 minutes in length. Topics selected for a Youth in Action demonstration may be related to a project in which the member is enrolled or to any other area of interest or expertise the member has. Involv-ing the audience in the process is the primary focus of Youth in Action and

constitutes a major portion of the evaluation results.- Presentation Software (i.e. MS PowerPoint) may be used for both Demon-strations and Illustrated Talks. If Presentation Software is used in a Demon-stration, the presentation software should supplement the Demonstration (hands on demonstrating should still be the basis of the entry). If used for an Illustrated Talk, the presentation software can be the basis for the entire talk; however the member must interact with the presentation and informa-tion - not just step to the side and let the presentation play. (Self-presenting entries created with presentation software should be burned on to a DVD and entered in the “Video” class.)If presentation software is utilized, judging will include the effective use of the software. For information on effectively using visuals in presenta-tions and/or presentation software please see http://www.mn4h.org/pro-grams/software_presentationSpecial NOTE: if presentation software is utilized in either a Demonstration or an Illustrated Talk, the 4-Her is responsible for securing any equipment necessary for judging. Extension staff may be able to assist in this process, but it is the responsibility of the exhibitor to contact Extension staff WELL BEFORE the scheduled judging. The ideal situation is to deliver the presen-tation with a computer and LCD projector, but the use of transparencies and an overhead projector is also possible.***** For Reference Only

Special NOTE: Entries formerly entered in the Presentation Software Con-test should now be directed into one of the following classes:*Demonstration (If presentation software is used to support or enhance a Demonstration)*Illustrated Talk (If presentation software is used to present information or to communicate a message in a way that involves the 4-H’er interacting with the presentation content)*Video (If presentation or other software is used to create a self-presenting visual or multi-media presentation that does not include the live interaction of the 4-H’er - something that just “plays/presents” on its own)PROJECT AREA Blue Red WhiteDEMONSTRATIONS $10.00 $5.00 $3.00NOTE: 4-H'ers who complete a Public Presentation at the State Fair will receive a $30 cash award. These payments are made in October. 4-H'ers must be grade eligible to participate at the State Fair.
