SUMMARY:Learn about the Upcoming Solar Eclipse! Program for Kids
DESCRIPTION:Kids ages 5 and up are invited to a special program about the 
 solar eclipse on Saturday\, March 30 at 10 am in the library's Howard Room. 
  Carla Scocchi and Leah McCluskey\, staff from 4-H\, will share information 
 about solar eclipses\, along with guiding participants to create miniature 
 models of a solar eclipse using foam balls and wire.  Everyone will also 
 get eclipse glasses to take home!  On April 8\, 2024\, parts of Maine will 
 experience a total solar eclipse\, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! A 
 total solar eclipse happens when the moon lies exactly between the sun and 
 the Earth\, casting its shadow on a small patch of the Earth’s 
 surface.\n\n \n\nCarla Scocchi and Leah McCluskey are two of three 4-H 
 staff who serve Hancock County. Their roles are focused on educating and 
 empowering youth through hands-on and community-based experiences\, with 
 self-directed learning and collaborations. Carla is currently spending her 
 time on statewide programs like the 4-H Aquaponics Project and the 4-H Tick 
 Project! Leah is supporting our county 4-H clubs\, planning county events\, 
 and hosting local 4-H workshops!\n\n \n\n4-H is the positive youth 
 development education program of the University of Maine Cooperative 
 Extension. 4-H is the largest youth organization in the world! Youth ages 
 5-18 can join\, and you do not have to own an animal or raise livestock to 
 be a member of 4-H. 4-H programming is diverse and offerings include 
 activities in the areas of agriculture\, science (STEM)\, healthy living\, 
 and civic engagement. The 4-H model for Positive Youth Development is 
 successful because of its focus on positive and sustained relationships 
 between youth and adults\, activities that build essential life skills\, 
 and opportunities for youth to use these skills as participants and leaders 
 in valued community activities.\n\nThis program is made possible through 
 support from NASA's Science Activation program through the Learning 
 Ecosystems Northeast partnership.  If you have any questions\, contact 
 Youth Services Librarian Claire Malina at claire.malina@bhpl.net or call 
 374-5515.
