Spring 2022 Inspire Discovery

Around Council

Hi, Girl Scout! My name is Juliette Bow Bot and I’ve been part of the robotics program at Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri since I was in Kindergarten! You can be a part of a robotics team at every Girl Scout level, from Daisies through Ambassadors. I’ve already learned how to design, build and program LEGO robots. Once I’m in 7th grade, my team can even work with metal robots! Girls on our robotics teams learn more about science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) through fun, exciting hands-on activities. Continue reading to learn more about robotics!

What would I do on a Robotics team? You can do so many things! As a team member, you will: • Learn about designing, building and programming robots with your teammates • Get creative by making a team poster and even designing your own shirts • Earn robotics badges—every year, girls also receive a special robotics patch How can I get started? Start by asking other girls your age if they are interested in robotics! This could be members of your troop, friends from camp or other girls that you know. They don’t need to be involved in Girl Scouts as long as they become a registered Girl Scout when they join the team. You can learn more by emailing Miss Lauren at lkornegaydollar@girlscoutsem.org or Miss Brooke at bstochl@girlscoutsem.org . How can I learn more? There is more information about the robotics program on our website, girlscoutsem.org/robotics. On our page, we even have a video of our Girl Scouts in action with their very own robots!
