When disaster strikes, engineers turn to robotics for help! In this
environmental challenge, Girl Scouts will experiment with different
oil spill cleanup techniques, then design and program robotic models
to aid in cleanup efforts. They'll explore real-world robotics
applications and discuss the importance of technology in
conservation.
Key Activities:
Interactive discussions on how waste affects wildlife, oceans, and ecosystems.
Brainstorm ways to prevent and mitigate oil spills.
Design a robot that could help to clean up oil spills using knowledge of sensors.
Roll up your sleeves and attempt to clean up an oil spill!
Badge Tie-In:
Senior: Designing Robots (Step 1 & 2), Programming Robots (Step 3)
Ambassador: Designing Robots (Step 1 & 2), Programming Robots (Step 3)
Completing this event will help Seniors and Ambassadors begin working towards their Designing Robots badges and Programming Robot badges. This program fosters a love for science and engineering. Early registration closes on September 29th at 5:00 PM ($12), and the final deadline to register is October 14th at 5:00 PM ($14)- don't delay and register today!
Adults who register for this program will serve as hands-on volunteers. All volunteers will be expected to arrive early for a brief orientation and to assist actively throughout the program. Thank you for supporting Girl Scout experiences!
