Product Design
Product Design is an engineering club led by Gary McCluen, 4-H leader. In the past his teams have designed sophisticated projects, including a Remote Operating Vehicle (ROV) for the Battelle Institute and a mechanical duck decoy for hunters. Gary usually works with high school seniors only and can be reached at 379-3695.
Oyster gift box designed in collaboration with Taylor United Shellfish Company and Big Quil Enterprises.
Taylor United Shellfish helped Big Quil Enterprises develop and market an oyster gift box for the holidays that could be shipped throughout the world. This experience has shown youth the power of value-added products in today's marketplace and the importance of marketing in economic development.
