Camp Description

Build it. Program it. Bring it to life!

In the Robotics & Autonomous Systems overnight camp, participants will dive into the fast-growing world of robotics and discover how engineers create machines that can sense, think, move, and perform tasks independently.

Working alongside Embry-Riddle professors, campers will design, build, program, and test their own autonomous robotic systems. Throughout this exciting weeklong experience, participants will tackle hands-on challenges, solve engineering problems, and see their ideas transform from a concept into a working robotic system.

Campers will:

• Design and build an autonomous robotic system
• Learn how robots' sense and respond to their surroundings
• Program robotic systems to complete tasks independently
• Tests, troubleshoot, and improve their designs
• Work as a team to solve real-world engineering challenges

Through expert-led instruction and immersive projects, campers will be introduced to concepts in:

• Mechanical Engineering
• Electrical Engineering
• Software Engineering
• Systems Engineering

Perfect for curious creators, problem-solvers, and future engineers, this camp provides high school campers with an exciting introduction to robotics and autonomy. Campers will develop teamwork, creativity, technical skills, and confidence while gaining insight into future opportunities in engineering and STEM.
