Stage 4, Pilot in Command
851 102 010 Rocketry
Description: An exhibit of a rocket made by the
member from the Aerospace Adventures Stage 4
project kits and a Rocketry Engineering Journal. In
Stage 4 the Rocketry Engineering Journal must in-
clude a rocket launch and flight report. Rockets dis-
played in this class may be made from the Estes
Viking™ rocket kit, or other skill level 1 rocket kit
where the member designs, constructs and tests the
fin configuration. Rockets included in a static display
MUST be shown without engines or igniters. All the
parts of the rocket and their function should be identi-
fied. Rocket components which must be included
and labeled are body tube, nose cone, engine hook,
fins, recovery system (parachute), launch lug, engine
mount, and shock cord. On the display, list any items
required to launch the rocket and their function such
as the launch system, igniters and recovery wadding.
List the appropriate engine size(s) for your rocket and
your level of experience. The exhibit will be judged on
neatness of labels and workmanship. See additional
exhibit requirements, above, for Technology classes.

GEOSPATIAL SCIENCE PROJECT
860 100 0_ _ GPS/GIS Exploring Spaces, Going
Places
Open ONLY to Juniors, Intermediates or Seniors who
are in their first year in this project area.
Description: Using the Level 1 “Take Me on a Tour”
activity, create a map showing four to six tour sites,
geo-tools used to create the map, positional data for
the sites, and information about the selected site. See
additional exhibit requirements, above, for Technology
classes. Evaluation: Use GPS/GIS Mapping Projects

860 100 1_ _, Geospatial Science Project
Description: GPS or GIS Projects. Exhibit may be an
exhibit, binder or presentation on a disk, CD or
thumb/travel drive. Computer presentations should
follow requirements for similar exhibits found in the
Computer Project exhibit classes. Examples of dis-
plays include creating a Community Atlas, geography
project, or project reports presented to a community
meeting. A project entry should contain two or more
maps. Maps may be either be informational or direc-
tional. Maps that are not created by the member(s)
may be included but the source of the map must be
clearly shown. The exhibit should describe how the
member’s project addresses an issue or solves a
problem.
861 100 1_ _ Computer Software Application, Word
Processing
Description: Projects created by youth that show
learning in the area of word processing. Project
should be an original creation by the participant that
shows their word processing skills. See additional ex-
hibit requirements, above, for Technology classes.

Description: Projects created by youth that show
learning in the area of spreadsheet design and usage.
Project should be an original creation by the partici-
pant that shows their spreadsheet skills. Intermediate
and Senior members are expected to have some for-
mula usage in their project. See additional exhibit re-
quirements, above, for Technology classes.

860 101 1_ _ GPS/GIS, Map
Description: Exhibit will be one map. A map is a single
product of data gathering, manipulation and presenta-
tion skills. Maps may be either be informational or di-
rectional. Maps can be computer generated or hand
drawn. Multiple maps should be entered as a
Geospatial Science Project exhibit. See additional ex-
hibit requirements, above, for Technology classes.

COMPUTER PROJECT
These classes are open to all 4-H members without
being enrolled in computer project. See additional ex-
hibit requirements, above, for Technology classes.
A print version of the program must be submitted
unless otherwise noted in the class description below.
Youth are responsible for submitting clear directions
on how judges can access the files. You may include
a disk, CD or thumb/travel drive as part of your exhib-
it. If you do, all files must be compatible with use on a
PC.
Value is placed on youth that can model the learning
process, or show how their skills have increased
while completing the project.
The youth exhibitor should identify a problem to
solve or create a work application involving technol-
ogy. Possible ideas might include: applying existing
software programs to a 4-H project area, compos-
ing music, developing a game, drawing landscape
scenes, designing buildings, publishing club
newsletters, creating a website, editing a video,
working with photographs, etc.
Online projects using Google applications or other
Web 2.0 software are acceptable.
Youth must make sure clear directions are given in
the project explanation so the judges can find and
access the project online. Website exhibits must be
viewable online or on a disk, CD or thumb/travel drive.
Exhibits entered in the “Programming” class must be
a program written, translated, or substantially (at least
30%) altered by the 4-H member. Programming proj-
ects please submit a hard copy or thumb/travel drive
for programs with excessive pages such as
GameMaker software.
