4-H in the Garden – Build a Better Dragon (Ages 6+)

“Build a Better Dragon” challenges K-12 youth to use lessons in animal adaptation and morphology to use science to design their own dragons

We’re so excited to launch this fall’s Dorchester County 4-H Annual Garden Series: “Build a Better Dragon” in partnership with Katie’s Krops.

Youth in grades K-12 will be split up by age and learn from local scientists, Clemson Extension agents, farmers, and nature enthusiasts about the science of animal adaptation, anatomy, and morphology (study of form and structure).

Has your child ever wondered why certain birds have one type of beak while others look and function differently? Are they interested in why certain animals can fly longer, higher, or more quietly than others and how wings work? Have they ever asked about dinosaurs?

We answer questions like these and more! Meetings will be cumulative and families are encouraged to attend as many as possible to not miss valuable information. Youth will have the opportunity to show off their dragon designs and present to a panel of local wildlife professionals for feedback!

Meetings will be Tuesdays at 10:30a at the Katie’s Krops flagship garden on the following dates:

Tues, Sept. 8
Tues, Sept. 22
Tues, Oct. 20
Tues, Nov. 3
Tues, Nov. 17
Tues, Dec. 8
