The camp provides a tuition-free, inclusive learning environment with access to university labs and faculty, focusing on practical, hands-on experience in cutting-edge STEM fields.
The SDSU Robotics Summer Camp offers middle and high school students a hands-on, immersive experience in engineering and computer science. Participants will learn foundational coding skills using Scratch and Python, and delve into advanced topics such as artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and renewable energy. Core activities include assembling and programming MBot Mega robots, learning to fly and program drones, and engaging in team-building challenges like egg drops. The curriculum emphasizes practical application through a robotics competition where students solve problems like designing video games, programming autonomous racing cars, and navigating robots through mazes. The camp also provides unique opportunities for campus integration, including tours of professional engineering labs like the SMILE Lab and the Aerospace Engineering Lab, and interactions with university faculty and guest speakers. The program aims to develop problem-solving, leadership, and innovation skills, preparing students for future STEM endeavors.
A typical day involves morning announcements and icebreakers, followed by focused coursework in robotics and programming, a lunch break, more instruction and project work, and an afternoon computer break with outdoor activities or games.
This camp is best for middle and high school students interested in gaining hands-on experience in robotics, coding, and emerging technologies, particularly those from underrepresented minority and low-income backgrounds.
