Oneida County 4-H partners with FIRST LEGO League to offer a 4-H/FLL Explore team for youth in grades 2-4, where students EXPLORE real-world problems, learn to design and code, and create unique solutions made with Legos! During each session, youth collaborate and communicate to build, learn, and play together, and also shared what they’ve learned with others. They are encouraged to work with their teammates, listen to each other, take turns, and share ideas and pieces. The partnership between 4-H and FIRST LEGO League offers a unique opportunity for young people to experiment and grow their confidence, critical thinking, communication, and design skills through hands-on learning.

Oneida County 4-H can offer an Explore Team, as long as there is an adult volunteer who can coach the team.  Each team must have one caring adult who can serve as the team’s volunteer coach. Each team consists of 4 youth. Team coaches do not need to have any coding or robotics knowledge or experience! Team coaches receive a free background screening and training and get to choose the day of the week when the team will meet. All training and materials are provided!!! PLUS - eligible child(ren) of a volunteer team coach get to participate in this program at no cost! It's one of the perks of serving as a team volunteer coach! The 4-H Educator is available to help team volunteer coaches every step of the way.
