The goal will be to create a ‘chain’ of cookie-moving robots. This activity will allow the Girl Scouts to exercise lego building skills, be introduced to programming in RoboLab, and most importantly, teamwork.

Members from Clarkson’s Robotics Living Learning Community will be helping the groups with their robots.

Here is a sneak peak of the robot that the groups will be building:
