UW Extension: 2026 4-H Technology

What if the next Wyoming engineer, programmer, veterinarian, rancher, or agricultural scientist is already in 4-H?

Wyoming 4-H has always been about learning by doing. Today, that means programming robots, engineering solutions, analyzing data, and learning how technology can make Wyoming agriculture more productive and sustainable.

The impact is already visible. In 2026, the Laramie County Circuit Breakers were selected by Governor Mark Gordon to represent Wyoming at the inaugural U.S. Governors Cup Robotics Tournament in Washington, D.C. They were the only 4-H team at the event, and they are part of a program involving 51 Wyoming 4-H members across seven robotics teams.

Now we're expanding those opportunities to include carcass ultrasound, which lets young livestock producers see beneath the hide of a live animal, measure traits tied to meat quality, and use real data to make better decisions.

This Giving Day, our goal is $7,000 from 200 donors. Here is what your gift can do.

• $25 helps cover supplies and materials for 4-H technology efforts.
• $50 helps with travel costs for program delivery and volunteer training across the state.
• $100 helps provide more robotics kits to grow the program across Wyoming.
• $200 helps toward the purchase of a carcass ultrasound machine.

Your gift puts real technology into the hands of Wyoming kids and gives them a chance to discover what they can do with it.

Build. Code. Scan. Discover. Give today and help Wyoming 4-H prepare youth who are Beyond Ready.
