4-H’ers in the 4th through 12th grades have the opportunity to learn about specific topics and issues in agriculture and animal sciences by participating in these competitive events. Through research, training sessions, working with a group, and hand on experiences, participants work with a team to evaluate various aspects of their topics. Public speaking, decision making, critical thinking, and problem solving skills are just some of the valuable life skills that students gain from involvement in judging teams and quiz bowl contests.
