Digital Storytelling takes brain power!
Hannah Tipton (A.K.A Agent Tipton) prepares for her video role in "The Butterfly Disaster." Hannah and Tyrus Wilcox filmed this short video concept meant to entice young people to learn more about butterflies. They created the idea of a "butterfly conspiracy" with 
these beautiful insects invading the Atomic Bunker of the United States. Using fear to motivate their audience, Hannah and Tyrus would then add information about the migratory patterns and biodiversity of butterflies to their film, ending it with Agent Tipton disappearing and transforming into a butterfly herself! Scary! Great job guys on your plot!Hannah is shown above with Kathryn (last name TBD), a fellow 4-H-er from Rutherford County, TN!

What 4-H Network News techies do when they fly!
Would anyone be surprised to know that our techies Hannah Tipton and Tyrus Wilcox, 4-H Network News reporters, preferred to explore their computers and the Internet, rather than go to a movie! We had to kill some time before our flight to Washington D.C. from Seattle so these computer whizzes took some time to Photoshop images and search the Net for fun!
Tyrus gives life some serious consideration.Reading in airports encouraged for youth...
Hannah Tipton, 4-H Network News reporter, and Pamela Roberts, Jefferson County 4-H agent, celebrate the infamous and fascinating magazine, "Sky Mall."

WSU North Olympic Peninsula Learning Center Slideshow
Due to the recent economic slump, WSU has had to close its statewide WSU Learning Center programs -there are six - and the North Olympic Peninsula Learning Center was one of those. 4-H Network News thanks its tech helpers and encouragers for the last few years, WSU staff Robert Force and Kris Raikes, and wishes them the best as they move on to future activities. Good luck gentlemen and thanks for all the support over these years!
(This slideshow features many of the community-based projects that the Learning Center was involved in - many of which involved 4-H Network News!)
