Sign Up For Pre-Teen Fun Day Today

February 7, 2014 By eastwickpress

submitted by Kandis Freer, Resource Educator with Cornell Cooperative Extension of Rensselaer County

Cornell Cooperative Extension’s 4-H Youth Development prides itself on providing youth with exciting real world opportunities. On February 15 Rensselaer County’s 4-H Teen Council will hold Pre-Teen Fun Day at Brittonkill (Tamarac) Middle School which will focus on LEGO WeDo Robotics. Pre-Teen Fun Day is a day of STEM taught by the 4-H Teen Council.

We invite all youth, ages 8-12, to attend Pre-Teen Fun Day, but call soon since space is limited. This program is free to 4-H members and costs $10 for non 4-H youth. Lunch will be provided.

The day will begin at 9:30 am with age appropriate icebreaker activities led by teens to get to know each other and to set goals for the day. From there, youth will dive into a day of LEGO WeDo Robotics which engages youth in technology, engineering and literacy. We will conclude at 1:45 pm with a round up activity. Pick-up will be at 2 pm.

Sign Up Now

Please call Kandis Freer at 272-4210 ext. 106 to sign up by February 7. No one shall be denied the opportunity to participate or receive information based on his or her ability to pay. If you have special needs that we can accommodate, please let us know at the time of your call.
