Maker’s Minute

A 4-H Maker’s Minute will inspire you to MAKE (create, design, build, etc.)! What are you MAKING? Each Wednesday during the month of May, a Maker’s prompt will be unveiled to inspire you to MAKE something fun. You can use the idea presented or make something based on your interests. Take a picture or short video (10-15 seconds) and share it with the NH 4-H Community Group on Facebook and inspire others to MAKE.
