Exploring Robotics and Engineering
One-Week Workshop, Dates Offered:
Session 2A (7/8/24–7/12/24)
Session 2B (7/15/24–7/19/24)
Tuition: $999
For early learners, robotics and engineering offer the kind of exciting experiences that often spark a lifelong interest in science. Students get to see how abstract concepts apply to real life and why engineering knowledge is so important to running the world around them. There’s also nothing quite like seeing a robot they’ve programmed and built themselves come to life!
Exploring Robotics and Engineering gives students everything they need to get their first taste of working with robots and engineering experiments, in a fun, safe, and nurturing environment. Instructors will guide them through many of the issues robotics experts must consider to improve performance. Other hands-on engineering projects will introduce them to physics principles and give them a practical feel for what engineering is all about.
By the end of the workshop, students will be able to plan and put together their very own robots and demonstrate a variety of basic engineering projects at home.
Projects in this workshop may include: Creating a robot that makes conditional decisions and creating a slime polymer.
