Bayer and National 4‑H Council amplified their commitment to the future of our rapidly expanding global population by launching a new effort to grow the pipeline of tomorrow’s innovators, starting now. The two organizations announced today a nationwide collaboration, Science Matters, which will address the need for an enhanced STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) workforce by planting a love of scientific exploration in thousands of youth in urban and rural areas across the country.
SCIENCE MATTERS will leverage Bayer’s more than 150 years of scientific breakthroughs and 4‑H’s century of hands-on learning to equip more than 25,000 youth with tools and support they need to deepen their understanding of science.

Bayer and National 4‑H Council amplified their commitment to the future of our rapidly expanding global population by launching a new effort to grow the pipeline of tomorrow’s innovators, starting now. The two organizations announced today a nationwide collaboration, Science Matters, which will address the need for an enhanced STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) workforce by planting a love of scientific exploration in thousands of youth in urban and rural areas across the country.
SCIENCE MATTERS will leverage Bayer’s more than 150 years of scientific breakthroughs and 4‑H’s century of hands-on learning to equip more than 25,000 youth with tools and support they need to deepen their understanding of science.
Science Matters will bring together 4‑H leaders with Bayer employees to work alongside young people demonstrating why science matters to all of us. In addition, Bayer will sponsor the 4‑H Agri-Science Summit in Washington, D.C., where students will learn about modern agriculture, careers in agriculture and gain more than 30 hours of hands-on learning and problem-solving experience. Bayer will also provide as many as 200 scholarships and offer community grants to extend the program’s impact. And Bayer’s continued sponsorship of the 4‑H YOUTH IN ACTION AWARD will add yet another dimension to Science Matters.
