In this introductory lesson, you will be introduced to programming with a line-tracing robot. There are two ways to program: color coding with markers and block-based coding on a computer. We will begin by learning the basics of programming by coding with markers. Then we will try programming the robot with a computer.

4-H STEM clubs can accept the challenge to design, build, program, test, and share a robot that can complete a step in the supply chain process.

Youth-serving organizations in Iowa are encouraged to contact their local Iowa State University Extension and Outreach county office to explore partnership opportunities in administering this program.

Additional information is available on the Iowa 4-H Robotics Clubs webpage.
