Robots and LEGOS what more could a kid ask for.

The world is becoming more technology based by the minute and our youth are gearing up for this in 4-H by participating in the 4-H Robotics Program. This innovative program lets youth explore, design, build, and program their very own robots. These robots come in various shapes and sizes and can perform a number of tasks. The LEGO WeDo and LEGO Mindstorm NXT 2.0 will be used in the 4-H program, with a few additions.

Come join us in exploring the world of robotics.

We are in search of interested adults and parents to help lead youth in this journey. You don’t have to be a “techy” to help out. We look forward to seeing all you “big kids” who still like to play with toys to come forward and get a chance to play, teach and learn.

I'm an Adult, Can I Play Too?

YES! We are looking for any interested adults and parents. Anyone who love LEGOs, kids, FUN and can help youth as coaches, mentors, supports, or just to be an extra hand.

How old?

We are hoping to have kids as young as 5 join our program. Some of the younger kids may need a little more help. Clubs will have children in varieing ages, but we hope to group them with similar age groups if possible.

Do I need to live in Wicomico County?

No. We have people from other counties as well as Delaware and Virginia in our program. We are hoping to set up 4-H robotics clubs in all the counties on the Eastern Shore.
