Utah State University: Cognizant Supports USU Extension 4-H’s “Making the Future” Programs for Youth in Utah

For the second year in a row, Utah State University Extension 4-H will continue to implement “Making the Future” programs for youth in Utah through a $25,000 grant from Cognizant.

“Making the Future” is an educational initiative created to unleash the passion of young people in science, technology, engineering and math by creating fun, hands-on learning opportunities. The program was first introduced in Utah last year as one of only 10 pilot programs in the country.

The grant from Cognizant is intended to help young people develop 21st century skills including creativity, innovation and collaboration. Cognizant supports the idea that “Making the Future” will create a brighter future for children and prepare them to be tomorrow’s leaders in a global economy.

“Cognizant’s ‘Making the Future’ program will assist Utah 4-H in delivering on USU’s mission of public service through learning, discovery and engagement,” said Dave Francis, USU Extension 4-H youth development specialist.
