* What knowledge and/or skills do you already have in a project area?

* Are there any special needs/items that are required to be able to complete the
    project?

     - Space - special considerations for animal and plant projects

     - Equipment - special, type, currently have, will need to purchase, etc.

     - Time Frame - multiple year projects, activities spread over several
        months, short term just a few weeks or days, etc.

     - Materials/Supplies - few, many, expensive, inexpensive, etc.

     - Other People Involved - presentations, group activities, mentors, etc.
* How much time do you have to spend on a 4-H project each week/month?
