4-H Robotics Teaches Students About Vision

Author: Ryan Farley

Planning Unit: Woodford County CES

Major Program: Science, Engineering, and Technology

Plan of Work: Developing Life Skills

Outcome: Initial Outcome

Engaging youth in interactive and hand on STEM activities provides youth with opportunities to explore and develop critical thinking skills. In partnership with Southside Elementary, Woodford County 4-H led four days of 4-H Lego Robotics lessons with four 4th grade classes. Each class participated in two hour-long classes that taught students how to program their Lego EV-3 robot. Tying the lessons into the 4th grade standard relating to vision, students learned how the color sensor attachment helped the robot detect different colors in front of it using light and light waves, much like the human eye. In response to the success of the program, the Woodford County Schools Facebook page posted several pictures highlighting the students participating, and several students signed up to participate with 4-H Lego Robotics in the spring.
