About this Event

Join us at the DeSoto County 4-H Office to build your own robotic alligator, explore the wonders of electrical engineering, and learn about the role of alligators in Florida’s agricultural industry—plus enjoy some tasty swamp snacks!

Ever dreamed of creating a robotic alligator that slides through the swamp, powered by electrical currents? Here’s your chance! Join us at the DeSoto County 4-H Office for a wild hands-on workshop where you’ll design and build your very own robotic alligator. Watch as it comes to life and makes its way through the swamp, just like the real thing! Along the way, you’ll learn about alligators and their vital role in Florida’s agricultural industry. Plus, we’ll be serving up some tasty swamp snacks to keep you energized while you tinker and create! It’s a fun, exciting, and electrifying experience you won’t want to miss. Come for the gators, stay for the snacks!
