4th Annual 4-H Robotics Showcase
On April 8, 2017 University of Illinois Extension will be presenting the 4th Annual 4-H Robotics Showcase at Antioch Upper Grade School, 800 Highview Drive in Antioch, Illinois. The event will take place from 11:00 am until 5:00 pm. This is a fun, free family event and is open to the public.
The theme for this year's challenge is "Meet the Health-bots" where eighteen teams of middle school youth from across Lake and McHenry counties will create LEGO Health-bots to complete challenges demonstrating elements of healthy living including creating a nutritious dinner plate from the four food groups and the importance of exercise.
The 4-H Robotics Showcase is the culminating event for University of Illinois Extension's Growing 4-H Science Robotics Clubs. Youth have the opportunity to show off what they have learned in their Robotics Clubs throughout the school year. Outstanding teams will receive trophies for robot design, performance, teamwork and creativity.
