This is an intensive weekend to get hands-on with the building and testing of an actual FIRST Robotics Competition robot to play the game REEFSCAPE.
Who: high school students who want to get involved in a robotics team. NO EXPERIENCE REQUIRED!!!
When: Aug 23-25
Where: Science Museum Oklahoma’s Robotics Workspace
You will have the chance to:
- learn how to use basic tools
- use Computer Aided Design software to learn how to convert design ideas into a actual robot
- assemble robot mechanisms and drive base
- connect / wire electronics
- work with robot programming
- learn from experience team members and mentors from engineering and science professions
You’ll also learn about the extensive opportunities to develop leadership skills and join in community service promoting STEM education that Team OKC is involved with.
We actually plan to compete with this robot at a low-pressure but exciting offseason event in Plano, TX (north side of Dallas) on Oct 25-26, 2025.
Cost: $20 enrollment in Oklahoma County 4-H is required (paid after Aug 1 — we will let you know). If you choose to stay with Team OKC for the season, you won’t need to pay the 4-H fee a second time. Families are responsible for their transportation and lodging at the competition, but we will work to minimize these costs and do things like carpool as needed.
