Students work as scientists and engineers, creating prototypes for clients in a university setting at the San Diego Supercomputer Center.
The SDSC StudentTech Robotics and Automation Camp offers middle and high school students an immersive experience in robotics and automation. Participants take on the role of interns, working in teams to design and build mechanical systems and automate them using programmed input and output devices. The camp emphasizes creative problem-solving, communication, and teamwork skills through engaging STEM activities. Students explore how mechanisms like gear trains transfer movement and learn to program automated systems to meet client needs. The curriculum is designed to progressively build understanding of automation and robotics, fostering independence in engineering and programming through demonstrations, readings, and collaborative troubleshooting of open-ended challenges.
A typical day involves classroom and lab instruction with demonstrations, in-class exercises, and collaborative work on design challenges, culminating in building and programming robotic prototypes.
This camp is ideal for middle and high school students eager to explore robotics and automation, gain hands-on engineering experience, and develop problem-solving and teamwork skills.
