Youth Development Adaptations
Consider the following skills that can be developed through WeDo projects and the Activity Pack projects • Youth are encouraged to use creativity, teamwork and
problem solving = life skills!• Youth develop language and literacy through narrative and
journalistic writing, storytelling, explaining, interviewing and interpreting
• Youth experience mathematics when measuring time and distance; adding, subtracting, multiplying, dividing, estimating, and using variables.

Youth Development Adaptations
Consider the following skills that can be developed through WeDo projects and the Activity Pack projects • Youth experience science through working with simple
machines, gears, levers, pulleys; and experimenting with transmission of motion
• Youth discover technology when programming; using software media; and designing and creating a working model.

Youth Development Adaptations
• How could youth use WeDo robots to perform service learning? – (ex: providing a WeDo workshop for 4-H members)
• How could a club use WeDo kits as a fundraiser?• How could a 4-H member use a WeDo kit in a
traditional 4-H activity, such as a county fair or communications contest?
• How could a teen leader use WeDo kits to do an activity with junior members?
