As a creative summer outreach project, this month our team gave several hour-long robotics presentations for about 20 kids from K-6th grade at the Quartz Hill YMCA Childcare Center.
We taught the children about robots and played a game about basic programming. With the older kids, we discussed FIRST Lego League, and explained how they could join a team, while the younger kids had fun drawing imaginary robots and looking at robot books. The finale was a lively game of Simon Says, featuring the guest appearance of Goldie the robot (a human in a friendly robot costume.)
We enjoyed teaching the children about robotics and leading them in fun activities, and we hope to partner with the YMCA Childcare Center for more events like this in the future! If you'd like us to give a similar event at your school or community center, you can email us at phirobotics@yahoo.com.
