The camp provides a unique opportunity for middle and high school students to engage with cutting-edge AI and robotics research through hands-on projects and mentorship from university professors and graduate students at a leading institution.
The SDSU ExpandAI@SD Robotics Summer Camp offers middle and high school students an immersive, hands-on experience in programming and robotics. Campers delve into various learning tracks, including Scratch and Python programming, where they build custom games and learn core coding principles. They gain practical skills by assembling and programming MBot Mega robots to perform precise motion tasks and piloting and coding Tello drones through flight missions. The curriculum also covers robotics fundamentals, motion planning, autonomous systems, and an introduction to AI, cybersecurity, and renewable energy. Beyond technical skills, students engage in team-building activities like 3D printing and catapult design, fostering problem-solving, leadership, and innovation. The camp culminates in a robotics competition where students apply their knowledge to solve challenging problems, such as designing video games and programming autonomous cars and maze-solving robots. Participants also benefit from campus tours and interactions with university professors and graduate mentors, inspiring them to pursue higher education and careers in STEM fields.
A typical day blends lectures with practical design challenges, hands-on coding and robotics activities, and team-building exercises, with breaks for campus exploration and lunch.
This camp is ideal for middle and high school students interested in gaining hands-on experience in programming, robotics, and artificial intelligence, particularly those from underrepresented minority and low-income backgrounds.
