4-H Robotic Camp

Author: Wade Raymer

Planning Unit: Webster County CES

Major Program: Science, Engineering and Technology 4-H Core Curriculum

Plan of Work: Building Lifeskills

Outcome: Intermediate Outcome

The Webster County 4-H Agent worked with the Webster County Middle School Science teacher/4-H Volunteer to offer a SET: Lego Robotics day camp. 25 youth were engaged in a 16 hour 4-H Robotic camp for 9 to 14 yr. olds.  Youth were involved in hands-on activities using the LV3 Lego Robotics kits. Youth learned how to construct different Lego robots and how to program the robot using a computer coding program.  The youth were divided into teams where they designed and programmed the robots to maneuver through different mazes. These hands-on activities encouraged the youth to think critically and problem solve, get excited about engineering and learn new life skills.


*100% learned how to program a robot with a computer
*100% used their creativity to design and build new things. 

*50% had an interest in a career in SET

After holding the Robotics Day Camp the Webster County Cooperative Extension Service and the Webster County Middle School have partnered together to offer a Robotics class at the Webster County Middle school.
