Are You Ready for the 4-H Robotics Challenge?


The 2025 Illinois 4-H Robotics Challenge is here, and this year’s theme—AiBot Challenge—is all about the future of artificial intelligence and robotics. Teams from across Illinois will design, build, and program autonomous robots to complete a series of AI-driven tasks, putting their problem-solving and teamwork skills to the test.


The state competition takes place on May 3rd at the McLean County Fairgrounds in Bloomington, IL, where teams will compete in three categories:


  • Table Performance – Show off your robot’s ability to complete tasks.

  • Technical Judging – Demonstrate your coding, engineering, and design skills.

  • Teamwork Challenge – Work together to solve a surprise challenge.


This is more than just a competition—it’s an opportunity to collaborate, innovate, and explore the cutting edge of robotics and AI.
