4-H Eco-Bot Challenge, National Science Experiment, Glenn Duncan Elementary: Reno, NV.

In this year's experiment, the 4-H Eco-Bot Challenge, youth from across the country enhanced their engineering skills by learning to think like a robotics engineer, assembling their own robots, also known as Eco-bots, and control surfaces in order to manage an environmental clean-up. At Glenn Duncan Elementary in Reno 5th graders tested the interaction between the Eco-Bot’s environmental engineering design features and various control surface configurations to determine the most effective environmental clean-up solution for a simulated toxic spill.
