BCTR featured throughout Spring ’12 issue of Human Ecology Magazine

June 6, 2012

The cover story describes 4-H's recent move to the BCTR and 4-H's and Human Ecology's commitment to base 4-H programs on research.  In the article Stephen Hamilton describes this perspective,

The idea is to embed research in every facet of 4-H. The content young people learn at 4-H, whether about robotics or nutrition, should be rooted in sound science, an the entire system under which 4-H operates should be tested and improved to maximize positive impacts on youth.
