4-H Presentations are a huge part of North Carolina 4-H. It is one of the most successful ways to help a young person learn how to do a public speech. It focuses on members teaching others what they know about a particular project/subject matter. They are sometimes called demonstrations or illustrated talk or formal speech.
Each NC Extension District host a district presentation event called District Activity Day. This year the West District 4-H District Activity Day was held June 25th in Buncombe County at AB Tech Community College. Cherokee County 4-H had two 4-H members do presentations at this years District Activity Day, Jayson and Trinity Weitz.
Jayson's presentation was title Computer Networking Systems. Jayson talked about different ways computers talked to each other and how computers worked. Jayson won a gold medal in the 14-18 Science and Technology category and did an outstanding presentation.
Trinity's presentation was title The Basics of Cooking. Trinity covered different types food cuts, cooking techniques, tools that you can use for cooking, and much more. Trinity won a gold medal in the 11-13 Foods and Nutrition category. She did an amazing job with her presentation.
