2011-12 Activities

Robotics With OLLO and Lego

For our 2011-12 4-H SET project season, we are diving back into robotics with the introduction of two very exciting robotics kit platforms, Robotis OLLO and Lego NXT Mindstorms. These kits will challenge kids into learning new concepts about reading and following directions, construction, mechanics and problem solving. We will have at least four activity sessions and 2-3 public displays to show off our creations. Parents are urged to participate at each event and help their children problem solve.

Meeting #1 - Introduction to Robotis OLLO
