Robotics CampThe Clay County 4-H Program recently held a dynamic week-long Summer Robotics Camp, inviting local youths aged 5 to 18 to explore a variety of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) activities. Thanks to the generosity of North Carolina A&T State University, the camp had access to an impressive array of robots, drones, and LEGO sets, enhancing the participants’ learning experience.

Throughout the camp, attendees engaged in hands-on activities including flying drones through intricate obstacle courses and navigating Dash & Dot Robots in races and programmed challenges. The children also built and programmed LEGO WeDo Kits into various models such as helicopters, space robots, and satellites.

As the week progressed, participants mastered the Sphero Bolt Robots, employing them to play soccer, navigate obstacles, and complete STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics) tasks, showcasing their creativity through the robot’s drawing feature.

The success of this camp underscores the vital partnership between North Carolina State University and North Carolina Agricultural & Technical State University, which provides crucial resources for programs like this. The 4-H Program is committed to its mission of “making the best better,” and these universities play a key role in making such enriching opportunities possible.

Stay tuned for more exciting events hosted by the Clay County 4-H Program in the coming year. For more information, please contact Kiffney Stokes at the North Carolina Cooperative Extension Center at 828-389-6305. We look forward to seeing you and your youth at our future events!
