Self Determined Projects

Self-determined projects are suggested for members ages 14-18. Self-determined is not a project, but a method for carrying out a project in a subject where projects do not exist.

Self-determined projects are exhibited at the county fair in the closest subject area.

• Members choose a subject for the project and set goals.
• Develop and carry out a plan to reach their goals.
• Evaluate progress and report on accomplishments.
