Pricing For Summer Program 2024 Goes Up April 23
 
Students will learn modern robotics by first building their own AI enabled Robotic Arm, and then an autonomous Mobile Robot using Arduino and Raspberry-Pi. At the end of each session, students will take their robots home!
 
This course is divided into 3 full weeks from Monday to Friday, where each week focuses on the following topics in robotics. We strongly suggest doing at least the first two weeks to have a complete experience. If you are interested in attending the Autonomous Racing Tournament  on July 27, then doing the third week is necessary since students will build the robot they will use to participate.
 
You can click on the week below to get more information, or buy the session separately. 
Week 1: Build a Robotic Arm With Arduino and Raspberry Pi
Week 2: Build an AI Enabled Robotic Arm with Raspberry Pi 
Week 3: Build an Advanced Competition Ready AI-Enabled Autonomous Mobile Robot 
 
Every week, each student will receive a new robotics kit,  which will be used for learning and for building the robot arm, and autonomous mobile robot .
 
Week 1: Build a Robotic Arm With Arduino and Raspberry Pi
Build an advanced robotic arm completely from scratch with Arduino.
 
Week 2: Build an AI Enabled Robotic Arm with Raspberry Pi 
Building upon the basic robotic arm built in Part 1,  in this session each student will modify their arm by adding several elements including a Raspberry-Pi and Camera, that will ultimately make it fully AI-enabled, and Wi-fi connected, and learn how to program it to do all kinds of cool tricks!
 
Week 3: Build an Advanced Competition Ready AI-Enabled Autonomous Mobile Robot 
By the end of this course, each student will have built their own wifi-connected self-driving autonomous smart vehicle controlled by a raspberry pi programmed by the students themselves. The robot arm built in Parts 1 and 2 will be mounted on top of the car to make a full mobile manipulator robot. The first two days will be used for building, the remaining three for programming and deeper concepts.
 
Social Distancing Policy
We have worked hard to create a safe setup that minimizes risk:
Masks are optional
Reasonable social distancing will be encouraged and unnecessary huddling will be discouraged
We recommend each student bring their own water bottle.
 
Prerequisites
None. Previous programming experience will help, but is *not* required.
 
What To Bring
Each student must bring his/her own Mac Or Windows laptop with sufficient free disk space, and administrative rights to install the Arduino IDE and other necessary utilities.
Chromebook will not work
A USB-C to USB adapter if your laptop contains only the new USB-C ports
