Temple University College of Engineering: Summer Robotics Institute

Learn how to design and build programmable mobile robots, and then compete in maze mapping competitions with other high school students in the Delaware Valley. You will get a great introduction to a college program in electrical and computer engineering. This program is partially funded by NASA and the Pennsylvania Space Grant.

The College of Engineering is actively engaged in nurturing science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) studies in our community and to the region's youth, such as the Philadelphia Youth for STEM (PY-STEM) and high school robotics institute.  

Topics to be covered in the Summer Robotics Institute are:

• Sensors, motors, microcontrollers, and electrical components
• Building an autonomous mobile robot
• Visual programming with Makecode
• Object oriented programming with python
• Programming robot to perform obstacle avoidance, lane line following, and more
• Microbit microcontrollers and resources to extend your knowledge

Temple professors, graduate and undergraduate students will instruct you every step of the way in the state-of-the-art electronics laboratory. There's no homework, but you will be challenged to learn about autonomous programmable robots and the different areas of electrical and computer engineering.
