Join the Purdue Extension for a Robotics Encounter. Participants will have the opportunity to work with a robot of their choosing and participate in robotic activities.
The event is open to any youth in grades 3 through 12. Snacks will be provided. Participants do not need to be 4-H members to participate, but there will be an opportunity to sign up for 4-H at the event.
It all happens Saturday, November 19 at the VUJC Technology Building beginning at 12 p.m. and running until 6 p.m.
Signing up is highly recommended as there will be a 20-person limit to each robot group. Contact the Purdue Extension Office to register: by phone, 812-482-1782; email, jmonarch@purdue.edu.
