The 4-H Robotics project provides hands-on experiences in designing, programming and building robots.

The Junk Drawer Robotics curriculum challenges participants to build robots from everyday household items. The Virtual Robotics teaches basic science and robotics concepts online through meaningful and engaging mediums including videos, simulations, animations and more. The Robotics Platforms modules can be used with a variety of commercial kits, including NXT, TETRIX, CEENBoT, and Vex.

  • Develop programming skills to control robots to carry out specific tasks.
  • Develop skills in the design process to solve design challenges.
  • Develop and practice engineering skills while working with robots.
  • Increase understanding of mechanics and the underlying physics.
  • Develop a new design, new application and innovative uses for robots.
