March Mystery Meeting

On Tuesday, March 20th, the Yalobusha Bots met to discuss summer contest and work on a

mystery project. The “Mystery Can” project was a great learning experience of everyone. I

and a few of our wonderful 4H volunteers built a can that you could roll on a table and it

would automatically roll back to you. The kids had to guess as to what materials we used to

make out can in order to make their own mystery can. After a few trial and error runs, they

all figured out what supplies were inside the can to make it roll. Pictured (l to r): Jake Harri-

son, Auston Hughes, Breezes Hughes, Dalton Burney, and Josh Harrison.
