Each year, University of Maryland Extension 4-H faculty members in the three Mid-Shore counties of Maryland's Eastern Shore host a STEM Festival for youth in grades K-12. This year's event supports One Health because it follows the Maryland STEM Festival theme of health and wellness. Interactive exhibits will feature health concepts including emergency preparedness, animal safety, hygiene/hand washing, effects of insects on human health, and environmental health. The event will take place Saturday, November 6 from 9:30 to 2:30 at the Caroline County 4-H Park in Denton, Maryland.
