In this project, a member with a special interest designs a project different from existing projects. It may be completely new or an adaptation, specialty, or advanced stage of an existing project. Members should discuss such projects with their leaders. Members in each project should visit regularly with leaders who help them review the work they have done toward completing the learning experiences in the project book. They should evaluate their results and determine the extent to which they have accomplished project objectives and personal goals, and identify strengths to build upon and weaknesses to overcome in current and future projects.
Evaluation provides members with a sense of competence and accomplishment.
An exhibit is an object or display designed to help young people feel they are capable and that they have accomplished something. Ideally, exhibits motivate members to learn and to have fun in a 4-H project. Members are not required to exhibit their work or participate in competition. However, participation in competitive activities and exhibits is encouraged as an educational, recognition and public awareness opportunity. An exhibit is not an end in itself, nor does it measure the learning that takes place in the process.
