Robotics gives 4-H youth an opportunity to understand current global issues and brainstorm realistic solutions while playing with computers and Legos.
At county levels, youth display research, programming, and robot ability to complete simple tasks. In global challenges, like First Lego League, robots complete 10+ tasks in 2.5 minutes, and youth present on robot design, programming, research, and a project.
Competition for Washington 4-Hers to meet, test, show and share abilities to:
- understand presented problems,
- create and prioritize task lists,
- research and brainstorm solutions,
- design, build, program, and test robot to complete tasks,
- present “research and development” to adult volunteer(s),
- time test robot for scoring of completed tasks,
- ‘debrief’ with others to share learning experiences.
