Girl Scouts Robotics team, The Coding Girls, attended the FIRST® Championship in Houston during 2022! They had the opportunity to present and meet other youth robotics teams from around the world! We caught up with The Coding Girls to learn more about their experience with robotics. What is your favorite part of Girl Scout robotics? Charlotte: “Learning fun new ideas to solve problems along with using teamwork to get other people’s ideas.” Evelyn: “Buildings things and being with my friends.” What is something new you discovered on your trip to Houston? Charlotte: “It takes a lot of teamwork to do BIG things.” Amelia: “I discovered all the new robots that I will get to work with when I’m older.”
