Agents

Extension Agents play an important role in the 4-H robotics program. Through your hard work and dedication, youth have an opportunity to participate in hands-on educational fun that teaches them the technical skills, as well as life skills, necessary to be successful in a digital economy.

Under the Extension Plan of Work, you will be asked to:

• Participate in in-service trainings
• Host county interest meetings or booths
  
• Realize that robotics may start off as a project and evolve into a club — it’s OK to start small!
• Recruit volunteers
• Assist volunteers in completing the volunteer application packet
• Train volunteers on 4-H fundamentals using the 4-H 101 materials
• Train volunteers on the 4-H robotics year round training curriculum
• Establish a robotics advisory council
  
• Determine monthly programming for the year
• Assist in securing resources
• Serve as the liaison between the volunteer and the State specialists
• Help prepare youth for contests
• Provide youth with opportunities to apply what they have learned
  • Preparing Record Books
