Clover Challenge

Clover Challenge is a competitive computer event for young people who are interested in learning more about Family and Consumer Sciences subject matter. In 2007 the contest was moved to a District-level event. 4-H'ers must compete and qualify in their district contest to be eligible to compete in the State Clover Challenge contest held during the PASE / Life Challenge Events.

Similar to quiz bowl, the Clover Challenge consists of a series of multiple choice and true/false questions based on family finance, health, foods, clothing, and home environment. Clover Challenge participants compete in teams of two, three, or four youth; these teams compete against each other in randomly chosen tournament-like brackets. Together, the team reviews the randomly selected question that appears on their computer screen and selects the answer they believe is correct. If the answer is correct, the team wins that question and takes control over a leaf of the Clover. If incorrect, the opposing team has a chance to "steal" the question and gain that leaf. The first team that can successfully gain control over all leaves of the clover wins that round and goes on to compete against another team. Competition continues until there is only one team left.
