Earn your robotics merit badge!
No dates at this time. If you have a group of 10+ scouts interested in participating, please contact us at campin@mdsci.org or 410-545-5958.
Join the Maryland Science Center for a one-day virtual Scouts BSA Robotics Workshop. Scouts (in 6th-12th grade) will learn about robots and programming, then design, build, and test a hydraulic arm. After the workshop, scouts will be given the contact information for a Robotics merit badge counselor who is familiar with our program and can sign off on the badge. Each scout will be provided a set of required materials.
Prerequisites:
Scouts should come prepared to discuss the safety precautions and potential first aid that may be needed when working with robots (Req. 1)
Research one career opportunity in robotics (Req. 7).
Cost: $45 per participant
Additional Informatoin
- We are happy to combine shipping or packaging if multiple scouts from the same troop are signing up. In that case one representative from the troop would purchase shipping, or pick-up materials from Maryland Science Center, and then distribute the kits to all registered scouts in their troop.
