The National Science Experiment,\u00a0the 4-H Eco-Bot Challenge,<\/em>\u00a0explores how robots can be used to preserve and protect the environment, while offering a glimpse into the future of science, technology, engineering, and math. Youth will assemble their own Eco-Bot, then discover how the robot functions. Youth will design a set of control surfaces to program the Eco-Bot to perform a simulated environmental cleanup project.<\/p>\n

If you liked the Eco-Bots experience, come to visit the University of Maine!<\/p>\n

The UMaine College of Engineering has year around tours and hands-on activities on campus for all age students.\u00a0UMaine College of Engineering<\/a>\u00a0is very committed to encouraging our youth, especially girls, to engineering careers through the\u00a0Girls Engineer Maine (GEM)<\/a>\u00a0and other programs. To schedule a visit for your group, contact your UMaine Extension County Office, and they will work with us to arrange a convenient time. Boys are welcome too!<\/p>\n

The University of Maine offers academic\u00a0minors in\u00a0Robotics<\/a>\u00a0and in\u00a0Environmental Engineering<\/a>!<\/p>\n
