National Youth Science Day (NYSD) is 4-H's annual initiative to inspire students everywhere to engage with STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) through a hands-on learning experience.
This year's challenge, Game Changers, is designed by Google and West Virginia Extension Service to teach kids how to use computer science (CS) to create games and engage with topics they care passionately about with a new coding activity, Pitch Your Passion.
