GUIDE FOR NATIONAL COMPUTER QUALIFIER CLASS J-6
The Computer Qualifier for the National 4-H Engineering, Science, and Leadership Event consists of three parts:
1. Written Quiz (15 minutes): A written test on computer terms and concepts
2. Illustrated Talk (10 minutes): The actual computer cannot be used in this presentation because the audience and judges will not be able to see well enough.

The presentation may include explanation of proper care, maintenance, and functions of a computer, programming techniques, new software, or related topics. Visuals should be readable at 40 feet.
A “Powerpoint” projector and computer will be available. Contestants may bring their “Powerpoint” visuals on a CD or USB storage device.
3. Problem Solving (20 minutes): Contestants will be asked to complete an assignment that may include word processing, data organization or programming. IBM compatible computers will be available for the problem solving activity.
4.) Parts ID (10 mintues): Begining in 2006 Computer Parts ID will be a part of the National Computer Qualifier. Computer Parts ID Form Download
