Earn Your STEM Merit Badges. Build Robots. Fly Drones. Design Games.

Hands-on, 2-hour STEM workshops that guide your Scouts through the requirements for four Scouting America merit badges or 5 Girl Scout Badges. Powered by Robot Academy’s LEGO® Robots and Robot Academy LEGO® Drones.

Trusted by Ohio troops for 12 years running LEGO® Robotics events for Scouting America and Girl Scouts.

SCOUTING AMERICA — FOUR MERIT BADGES

Aviation Merit Badge

Take flight with a Robot Academy LEGO® drone. Scouts learn the principles of flight, then pilot a real drone through hands-on challenges that bring the Aviation requirements to life.

Robotics Merit Badge

Program your own LEGO® robot, then battle to the finish in a live BattleBot tournament. Scouts design, build, and upgrade their bots, and every Scout earns a 1st-place BattleBot medal before the day is done.

Game Design Merit Badge

Turn an idea into a playable video game. Scouts use game-design tools and AI to build a quick game they can play on the spot, covering the Game Design requirements while creating something all their own.

Programming Merit Badge

Speak the language of computers, three ways. Scouts get hands-on with three different types of programming languages and write real, working code that does something cool.
