WJBC interview with Theresa Chambers about upcoming how 4-Hers are involved with Global Youth Service Day.

The public is invited to attend the GYSD service showcase at ISU's Brown Ballroom from 4-6 pm on the ISU Campus, this Friday April 24.

See you there!!

Last night was the first time 4-Hers interested in robotics met to prepare for the first State 4-H Robotics skill-a-thon coming up on April 25. We have lots of interested members in robotics, but many are not available to participate in the skill-a-thon this year due to scheduling.

4-Hers that will represent McLean County this year are:

Aaron, Ben, David and Tim Miller from Stanford Silver Stars 4-H Club

Jonathan Kothe from Downs Top Notchers 4-H Club

Sam Scheltens from Towanda 4-H Club

All six of our members will participate as an exploratory team for McLean County in the Junior division of the skill-a-thon. They will bring back their experiences to share with other interested Robotics members so that we can continue growing our 4-H robotics program in McLean County.

Special thanks to their father's: Loren, Kevin and Henry for encouraging the boys and providing expert technical support!!!

If you would like to volunteer with Robotics please contact Theresa at techamb@illinois.edu.
