Earn your robotics merit badge!
Our workshop for Saturday, May 7 is SOLD OUT. If you have a group of 10 or more scouts, please email campin@mdsci.org to discuss the possibility of planning a workshop for your troop.
Join the Maryland Science Center for a one-day in-person 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.
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).
