Alaska 4-H invites all Alaska youth to Chalk it Up!

More free kits are available for youth ages 5-18 who are interested in a 4-H chalk coding activity in Fairbanks.

The project is open to 4-H’ers and nonmembers. Participants will receive a free project kit containing sidewalk chalk, coding cards and instructions. They create a chalk obstacle course, then write the algorithms (set of instructions) in chalk for someone to follow. Once you have finished your activity, follow instructions to show what you have done. Anyone who completes the first part will receive a mailed package with information to continue the activity for months.

If you live in the Fairbanks area, register for your kits and schedule a pickup time from 5-6 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 20, or noon-1 p.m. Friday, April 21,  at the Noel Wien Library parking lot. Please wait in your car for the delivery. Face coverings and social distancing are required for pickup days.

For more information, contact Marla Lowder at 474-2427 or mklowder@alaska.edu or Ronda Boswell at 474-2450 or rlboswell@alaska.edu.
