The program offers a unique blend of virtual Python programming followed by in-person robot building and competition preparation at the San Diego Supercomputer Center.
The UCSD ForMIDABLE Summer program introduces middle school students (grades 6-8) to the exciting fields of computer science, robotics, and engineering. This four-week program, an offshoot of UCSD's ABLE program, offers a blend of hands-on workshops, engaging tutorials, and inspiring robotics demonstrations. Students will gain foundational programming skills, specifically in Python, and apply these to building and controlling robots. The curriculum also incorporates insights from invited speakers who are professionals in various STEM fields, providing a broader understanding of potential career paths. Participants will develop problem-solving, teamwork, and communication skills through practical projects and collaborative learning experiences.
A typical day involves hands-on workshops in programming, robotics, and engineering, complemented by tutorials and demonstrations.
This program is ideal for middle school students in grades six, seven, or eight who are interested in computer science, robotics, and engineering.
