4-H Volunteers Using Technology

Some Mississippi 4-H Volunteers recently learned how to use various technology components during the 2009 MVLA Conference in Starkville, MS. During the hands-on sessions, volunteers built and programmed robots, created buttons and magnets, and used Global Positional System (GPS) receivers to calculate area, measure distance, and store tracks. There was also an information session for volunteers on the Computer, PowerPoint, and Robotics Contests to be held during the 2009 State 4-H Congress. These sessions were delivered by Dr. John Giesemann, Mariah Smith, Tasha Brown, Cedric Smith, and Matt Brooks.
