Dee was instrumental in bringing robotics to the Boone County 4-H program. She has been the organizational leader who recruited mentors, wrote grants, worked with club officers and promoted the team through both FIRST and 4-H. Furthermore, she started a Lego robotics camp which used mentors from the Flaming Monkeys 4-H club as teachers and eventually that camp lead to the development of a 4-H Lego League club here in Boone County. Dee is always willing to help other clubs get started and provide help and guidance to other mentors.
