A 4-H volunteer for four years, Carl is the coach for the NBots 4-H club and First Lego League (FLL) robotics team called The Rebels.
“I like being a 4-H volunteer because it makes a difference to the children involved,” he says. “Parents make all the difference in 4-H. Without involved parents, none of the events would be possible. My favorite experience as a volunteer was our first Lego League competition, which was difficult. The robot broke during the practice table. On our last robot table, we were able to complete all the tasks we set out to do. The youth were so excited they went crazy -- from all the excitement you would have thought we just won the whole competition.”
