College 101:Tips to go From Surviving to Thriving
Presenter: Sharon Toth
Baker - 12/1/2024 1:30 PM
This workshop will focus on basic terms and successful tips to aid in the college transition process. The first year of college can be overwhelming and overstimulating, even for those who have traditionally done well in the classroom. This workshop will break down common terms and standards used across college campuses, such as undergraduate versus graduate students, the order of higher education degrees, how to read a syllabus, and how to navigate large lecture classes. This session will be a mix of a presentation and hands-on activities to engage youth in navigating their transition to college. This workshop is designed for participants to take away essential information and tips on thriving in this new environment starting in their first year to make the most impact during their college experience. Activities will solidify the main concepts and give participants a sense of belonging in their feelings about the preparedness and transition process. Various activities will be utilized throughout the workshop to keep youth engaged and observe their college-bound confidence increase. This information is presented by a first-generation college student who attained a PhD and taught over 450 college students, mostly first-year students. It will cover pitfalls first-year students tend to make, and participants may not be aware of when they start classes. For example, utilizing office hours, finding internships, and email etiquette. Participants will feel more confident and prepared in their transition to college because of this workshop

Ricochet! An Extreme Leadership Adventure
Presenter: Darlene Lock & Earl McAlexander
Courtland - 12/1/2024 1:30 PM
Ricochet! An Extreme Leadership Adventure is an adventure-based experiential learning approach of teaching five dimensions of leadership. It also asserts that all youth have the potential of becoming a leader. Designed for use with middle school youth in a variety of settings, Ricochet’s research-based curriculum follows Van Linden and Fertman’s (1998) assertion that adolescents go through three stages of leadership development – awareness, interaction, and mastery. The proposed Congress workshop will focus on Level 1 – Awareness. Through this hands-on demonstration, Congress participants will learn more about self, engage in leadership opportunities as a group, and describe good teams and good leaders through activities such as ‘Ants on a Log’ or ‘Helium Stick.’ The goal of the workshop is for teen Congress participants to learn how they can implement Ricochet in a youth teaching youth environment in their community. The workshop will emphasize how to debrief the activities to bring out the dimensions of leadership, so that is more than just fun activities. Congress participants will learn that Ricochet includes resources to review the content of completed lessons before moving to the next. A final aspect of Ricochet is the incorporation of community and service-learning. Ricochet has been effectively used in Iowa and Texas counties for ten years plus. We feel it is a resource that can be implemented nationwide and look forward to sharing it with teen leaders at National 4-H Congress.

Pilates
Presenter: Renee Pauley
Dunwoody - 12/1/2024 1:30 PM
Pilates works from the inside out by strengthening the core muscles that support the spine. Pilates is a series of rhythmic exercises that strengthen and balance the body, while lengthening the muscles and increasing flexibility. By focusing on quality of movement rather than quantity, Pilates is a great benefit to anyone looking to improve their performance or overall health.

Competitive and Cooperative Games Through Fine Arts
Presenter: Dr. Janis Del Rosario Morales
Hanover AB - 12/1/2024 1:30 PM
Together, dance, movement, body expression and fine arts promote the development of imagination, the pleasure of playing, improvisation, spontaneity, and creativity. As a result, they aim to enrich everyday activities and personal growth. In addition, they teach students to find deeper and more integral forms of communication. In the same way, they help them discover the mechanisms by which different human groups function: work teams and students, among others (Verde, 2005).Do we need competition and collaboration? Through the workshop on competitive vs. cooperative games using fine arts, we want to reflect on the importance of establishing appropriate behaviors that focus on group success. To show that there are no losers if we all work together for the same goal. Competition and cooperation can be key motivations for achieving results. Problems can foster innovation and creativity. Competition can promote personal improvement. While these games, the members of the group must create mutual knowledge based on trust and communication, which encourages cooperation in an environment full of joy and fun. All of this is summed up in benefits in people's lives, such as: They encourage cooperation and group cohesion, in addition to the sense of belonging to a group or set of people. It improves social relationships between the members of the group, which is ideal for children, since, as adults, they will know how to treat people and will relate easily. It decreases the impulse of competitiveness, so violent or aggressive strategies for resolving problems or conflicts do not increase.

Circles of Influence
Presenter: Kellie Ashley & Jenna Daniel
Hanover CD - 12/1/2024 1:30 PM
You focus your time and energy to lead (Circles of Influence), 2) how your natural talents and unique gifts can be utilized in leading others (Lighting Your Torch), and 3) identifying how you can share these lessons with peers (Passing Your Torch).Participants will: 1) apply the Circles of Influence model to their leadership goals, 2) connect strengths of their personality style to growing their circle of influence, and 3) identify Spark Champions/mentors in multiple aspects of their life (family, school, and community). We use the Olympics and its visual representation, the Olympic torch, to connect leadership lessons to life. Before the Olympics begin, the lighting of the torch occurs in Olympia, Greece. Fire symbolizes wisdom, knowledge, and power, and we know that wisdom and knowledge are power. Understanding more about ourselves helps us be stronger leaders. This workshop creates space and place for youth to reflect on leadership lessons they have learned and apply them directly to their own lives. Following the workshop, instructors will collect data to help gauge a change in knowledge and intent for action.

Teaching Art in Miniature
Presenter: Karla Konepfli
Hanover E - 12/1/2024 1:30 PM
Trading Cards were introduced in the 1860’s as baseball cards. In the mid 1990’s Stirnemann created the concept of Artist Trading Cards. The small size is a less intimidating palette for introducing, teaching, and experimenting with one’s creativity and a variety of art techniques and media. Each concept and activity in the workshop will be intentional and relate back to effective, educational, and fun program delivery. Content can be easily replicated or just enjoyed for personal relaxation. Participants will return home inspired, with months, even years of programming and 4-H project work ideas. During our limited time together, we will focus on the Elements of Art – Line, Shape/Form, Color, Space and Value. Using 2.5 X 3.5-inch trading cards as a palette, five miniature pieces of art will be created applying two or more of the elements. Participants will leave with one page of their own portfolio completed, as well as a creative example of how to document project work. Research has shown the brain physically changes when we learn. The repetition of practice and the chemicals released by emotions show when young people study the arts they show heightened academic standing, strong capacity for self-assessment, increased verbal and cognitive language skills, and a secure sense of their own ability to plan and work for a positive future. (E Fiske, Champions of Change: The Impact of the Arts on Learning, 1999) In 2005, former AR Governor Mike Huckabee said, "The arts aren't extraneous, extracurricular or expendable. They are essential."

The Many Realities of Virtual & Augmented Reality!
Presenter: Mark DelMorra
Hanover FG - 12/1/2024 1:30 PM
Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and related technologies continue to rapidly evolve and be spotlighted because of their numerous applications across many different fields and industries. Their usage now goes far beyond gaming, into computer science, medicine/healthcare, military, mental wellness, physical fitness, socialization, education, and many other fields. With their continually increasing presence in society, and the cost of acquiring these devices continuing to drop, it is important that youth and members of the public understand the basics of these technologies, even if they do not intend to become experts. This workshop will: introduce the basics of how VR & AR work, show their opportunities/capabilities, offer hands-on experience with the tech, and include discussion on potential opportunities and drawbacks. Some of these opportunities and drawbacks are also applicable with other related technologies, such as robotics and drones, whose connections with VR and AR will also be touched on. Youth will be provided with resources at the end of the session where they can learn more about these topics, and how they can access them on their own if interested

Plan to be engaged, and think outside of the box but most importantly, plan to develop a toolbox of tips and tricks that will enable you to become a more confident public speaker with the best-looking presentation.
