More than 400 teens, volunteer leaders, and Virginia Cooperative Extension agents pieced together the 4-H puzzle at the 90th annual 4-H State Congress on Virginia Tech’s campus from June 14-17. This year, 4-H delegates had an opportunity to discover the science behind the operation of a typical dairy farm, turn trash into recycled treasures, rehearse and perform a step routine, learn about interesting career paths in the horticulture industry, or extract DNA from strawberries. In addition to workshops, competitions, and assemblies, 4-H State Congress let participants experience what life might be like as a Tech student.
