On December 4, LigerBots visited Cub Scout Pack 210 at the Carroll Center for the Blind, where we presented about the LigerBots and told stories about ourselves. We engaged them in two STEAM activities, and they had fun discovering how we make our award-winning robot. 5 students told their stories about themselves, relating how scouts led them to join LigerBots later in high school. They not only told their story but also led the students through the process of how we build robots, as well as a pitch of who LigerBots are.

We also led kids in two STEAM activities. One of them is a double pyramid origami. Afterwards, they had to combine the components in order for it to become a pyramid. The other activity we did was the binary beads activity, where scouts wrote their initials in binary. Binary is the number system that computers use, unlike humans, who use the 10-digit number system. These activities provide a strong foundation for STEM concepts.

The Cubs Scout Troop Visit was so much fun! We really hope we can do more such events like these again, especially since it improves our public speaking skills and truly inspires kids, the youngest next generation, to STEM!
