Robotics, a Bear Elective Adventure
The Bear Den Leader guide says, “Advances in science and technology have created a world of possibilities. Robots of many shapes and sizes can now perform tasks traditionally done by humans–from sensing the speed of a vehicle to sorting items based on color. In this elective adventure, bear Scouts will learn how different types of robots are used and then create their own simple robotic figures.”
