The Nebraska 4‑H Robotics Showcase at the Nebraska State Fair is an in‑person contest for youth ages 8–18 (by Jan. 1 of the current year). Contest will be held on Sunday, Aug. 23, 4:30–8 p.m. at the Raising Nebraska building at Fonner Park, and consists of Robotics Video and Build a Robot classes (see 2025 Lancaster County Super Fair 4‑H & FFA Fair Book p. 42). Participants may enter as an individual or as a team of 2–4 youth.
4‑H members do not need to qualify with a county‑level exhibit, but are encouraged to enter their exhibit at the county level to gain feedback from a judge.
