T. E. A. M. Together Everyone Achieves More!
Senior members of the Dallas County H & S Dreammakers 4-H Club
decide to compete in the Home Furnishing activity at the State
O-Rama. The team won second place in the competition.
The four participants began with a plan for a child's room that
they were required to change into a home office. The competitors had
a limited budget and had to explain their ideas for the changes.
They faced many challenges, such as limited floor space, door and
window placement, and lighting problems. In preparation for the
assignment, and with the assistance of the Dallas County Extension
Staff, the team gathered information about principles of interior
design. While at the Extension office, staff encouraged the team
members to share ideas, stay on task, and focus on the outcome.
Many long hours of research, layout design, making visual aids
for presentation, and practice resulted in a second place award at
the 2006 Arkansas 4-H O-Rama in Fayetteville.
