Juniors

Explore different types of robots in our Robo-Designers badge program! Juniors will have the opportunity to see different robots in action in the Robots IMAX movie. They will discuss how robots are evolving, then brainstorm, design, prototype, and build their own robot! They will present their robots and receive feedback to complete their badge program.

Are you ready to design your own entertainment company? Juniors begin by learning about historical animation styles and then get to animate their own stop motion movies. Next, they build prototypes of roller coasters while learning the science behind the screams. Finally, they make custom 3D glasses and learn how 3D images are made.

• This program covers three steps of the Entertainment Technology badge and troop leaders will receive a resource guide with suggestions of how to complete the last two steps. Badge is not included.
• Juniors will receive a Tech Fun Patch, and each team’s stop motion video will be emailed to troop leaders after the program.

Do you have what it takes to be a Tech Detective? Juniors and Cadettes will begin by practicing their observation skills and the art of forensic drawing by sketching a “suspect” described by a “key witness.” Next, they explore the role of DNA in forensics — what it is, what it does, and how it helps solve crimes. They then get to perform an experiment to extract real DNA! Finally, participants learn how to obtain and analyze fingerprints from a crime scene. *This class has been combined with the Cadette Special Agent badge program and will host both Junior and Cadette girls.
