4-H 4-U - Youth and STEM

STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math - did you know one of 4-H's leadership development pillars is "Science and Technology"? Though as you'll hear in this episode, STEM is so much more than science and technology and there are so many skills and learnings that come within STEM 4-H clubs.

In this episode we are joined by four 4-H volunteers to discuss the importance of youth in STEM and the ways 4-H contributes to just that. Learn about each of the volunteers below:

Jennifer Pollock is a Professional Engineer with a degree in Materials Engineering from McMaster. Throughout her 4-H career she completed 42 clubs, attended Provincial Leadership Camp, Inter-provincial exchange, and was a 4-H Ambassador. Since becoming a 4-H leader, Jennifer has led multiple STEM based clubs including Lego Engineering, Engineering, and Cloverbuds. She has presented on STEM in 4-H at 4-H Ontario volunteer symposiums and the 4-H Canada Leadership Summit.

Tayler Black spent twelve years as a 4-H member completing over thirty clubs on a variety of topics and participating in both provincial and national opportunities. Tayler continues his 4-H journey as a leader with the Wellington 4-H Associations and as a Trustee with the Ontario 4-H Foundation. In addition to 4-H, Tayler volunteers in leadership roles with various other community organizations including the local fair and pipe band. Currently an IT Systems Administrator and Business Manager with Husky Farm Equipment Limited, Tayler pursues his passion for agriculture and technology through his work both professionally and in his spare time.

Megan Pollock has been involved in 4-H for over 20 years, as both a member and a leader. She has participated in a wide range of lifeskills clubs, ranging in topics from square dancing to international cooking to computer programming. She is currently working as a User Experience Designer at Zeitspace, a software consulting company in Waterloo.

Todd Radigan is currently the President of Waterloo 4-H, and works as a Software Engineer in Kitchener. He has led a variety of life skills clubs, from cooking to computer programming. He enjoys opportunities to share his passion for technology with 4-H members through STEM clubs.
