Skill-A-Thon and Judging Contests are designed to support the learning that is taking place in a project area. Skill-A-Thon’s teach critical thinking and decision-making skills. These skills are valuable to young people as well as adults as they must make decisions every day. Youth who excel in county contests may advance to compete at the Delaware State Fair.
