🤖 Exciting Times at the Walnut Street Y! 🤖 In celebration of #SummerLearningWeek, our Walnut Street YMCA teens dove into an amazing STEM adventure with Robotics classes led by the Tatnall School! Over the course of three days, nearly two dozen enthusiastic summer campers formed seven dynamic working groups. Their mission? Build a basic "bot", attach a motor and programmed brain, and design an arm to drop a donut onto an awaiting post. 🛠️🍩 From assembling nuts and bolts to choosing between four-wheel models and tank treads, the campers were fully immersed. All teams had their bots gliding across the Teen Center floor, mastering remote control operations. The real challenge began when each team had to work together to build a tower and a remote-controlled arm for the donut drop. While the actual drops were a mix of hits and misses, every team showcased outstanding engineering skills and teamwork. Way to go, Walnut Street Y teens! We can’t wait to see what you build next! 💡✨ #YMCA #ymcade #STEM #Delaware #Innovation #Teamwork #SummerCampFun

🌍✈️ This morning, 20 young people from our YMCA Global Teens program departed for an educational and service-learning journey to Nairobi, Kenya! Their itinerary includes the Maasai Mara National Reserve, completing a service project alongside the staff and teens of the Nairobi YMCA, and exposure to Kenya's diverse landscapes and cultures. Our goal is to empower Delaware’s youth with a global perspective, leadership, and educational experiences. This transformative voyage was made possible thanks to our lead sponsors, Barclays and the New Castle County Executive, and our supporting sponsors: Bank of America, Capital One, Discover, Nemours, WSFS, and Bob and Susan Hurka. Your generosity has made this journey a reality! ❤️🙌 The YMCA Global Teens Program develops international understanding, leadership skills, and cultural competency. It promotes civic engagement and prepares our youth to lead in the 21st century through service-learning and cultural exchanges across the globe. To support programs for young people in your local YMCA community, please consider making a donation today at www.YGive.org. #YMCA #ymcade #YForAll
