Five local seventh-graders-to-be are building robots through a summer science program at the Amboy 4-H Environmental Education Center.
They are participating in Robots and You, the first of two Summer Scientists programs at the center. With support from Cornell Cooperative Extension and a grant from the Oswego City-County Youth Bureau, the programs are free to participants.
Tuesday was the third of five sessions of Robots and You, a course in which students learn how to build robots using Lego NXT Mindstorms programmable components. The youths work together to learn a programming language so they can make their robots perform certain functions. One task calls for the robot to move forward, touch a wall, turn around and return.
