Skillathon FAQs
What is Skillathon?
•Skillathon is a fun test of your knowledge using interactive stations but is not a written test like you would take in school. Stations are more intentional, and youth are encouraged to describe and demonstrate what they have learned.
Do I need to bring my project book?
•Nope! Project books are not checked at Skillathon anymore. Instead, project books will begin being checked at the 2024 Livestock Project Book Interviews.
Do I need to bring my animals?
•Nope! All animals can stay home.
Why should I participate?
•Generous folks sponsored AWESOME prizes to give to winners. If no one wins, who do we give prizes to? It just might be you!
