Science program planned at Fairgrounds On Oct. 18 -20, 381 youth in Gibson County will visit Gibson County Fairgrounds to partic- ipate in a hands-on science program developed by Purdue Extension 4-H called Science Sensation. Due to the startling shortage of young people pursuing science careers, Purdue Extension-Gib- son County aims to excite young people about science and share potential career opportunities with them. At Science Sensation, seventh graders from across the county will rotate through inter- active sessions on animal science, robotics, engineering, forestry, soil and water. Sessions will be taught by Oakland City Univer- sity students, Gibson County SWCD, Purdue Extension Educa- tors, and local experts. "We hope to engage youth in exciting, relevant ways to learn about science this year. Youth will explore a wide vari- ety of science-related subjects at Science Sensation and become aware of the many career oppor- tunities in the science field," wrote 4-H Educator Jacob Shuman in a press release.
