Engineering and Technology
For *notebooks, *display boards, and *posters, no additional exhibit information is required; no manila envelope is needed for these exhibits. All other exhibits need the additional information included in a manila envelope. Displays, notebooks and posters have been combined into one score sheet for all divisions.
You may also visit the Kansas 4-H STEM site, www.engtech4ks.com, for more specific information in astronomy, rocketry, robotics, unmanned aerial systems and computers.
To get the information form-fillable files to work, first it will be necessary to download the file from your browser. However, we suggest you first type in your information and then print off a copy before re-saving it and closing the file. In some instances, you may not be able to save the contents of each file due to your computer's configuration. Always print the form-fillable file before closing it, so you don't lose the information. If the form-fillable function is not working correctly, please try Firefox or Chrome as your browser to download the file. That usually solves the form-fillable issue. Thanks.
