(KFYR) - A 4-H event previously held in Minot has a new home at Bismarck State College. The Chain Reaction Machine Challenge tests participants’ problem-solving and creativity skills. Ben Ketterling and his team gathered to assemble what looks like a complicated contraption, but it does a very simple task. Each team had a spokesperson who walked the judges through the process of that task. “You got to like talk about your ideas to communicate well to get your ideas across the board,” said Ketterling. This event in Bismarck is about more than just a chain reaction. “I see the skills that people develop in 4-H, and they come out of 4-H where I am. Their public speaking is amazing, the way they can articulate, the things that they learn through 4-H are really just amazing,” said Margo Bowerman, one of the event organizers. The teams also learned about trial and error. “Try and do different solutions and one will eventually work,” said Caleb Fawcett, one of the participants. The 4-H Chain Reaction Machine Challenge moved from Minot to Bismarck this year. “That’s what 4-H needs in communities are those caring adults that want to provide those opportunities for young people to develop those skills,” said Bowman. Last year, there were no youth participants; this year there were four full teams. Organizers hope that the program can continue to expand. The 4-H Consumer Decision Making contest was also moved to Bismarck this year to make it more accessible for individuals who want to participate.</div></body>
