We are excited to host young space enthusiasts for our Summer Robotics Academy. Peruse our offerings below, which include opportunities to attend free of charge thanks to a partnership with Pratt & Whitney.
Have a question about the Academy? Reach out to us at outreach@ccssc.org. We hope to see you this summer!
So You Want To Build A Space Robot? (Ages 9-11)
Dates & Times: June 24 – June 28, 9AM – 4PM
Whether landing on comets or exploring the red planet, robots are an essential part of modern space exploration. You will learn to design, program, and build different kinds of robotic systems to overcome a wide array of challenges! You’ll also get to experience how engineers design hardware for space by 3-D printing a model of your own design! You will work in teams of 2 for most of the program.
Registration closes June 21.
Space Robotics – Automation Beyond Earth (Ages 11-13)
Dates & Times: July 8 – July 12, 9AM – 4PM
Whether surveying the solar system or redirecting an asteroid, robots are an essential part of modern space exploration. From gathering resources on the red planet to conducting an aerial survey of the Martian surface, you will learn to design, program, and build different kinds of robotic systems to solve real-world problems! You will work in teams of 2 for most of the program.
Camp attendance is sponsored by Pratt & Whitney.
Application period closes on April 21. Awardees will be notified by May 17.
One Giant Leap Into Your Future (IMEET, Ages 14-17)
Dates & Times: July 22 – July 26, 9AM – 4PM
This week-long camp developed in partnership with NASA leads students through a simulated Mars Rover mission. As NASA operates its Mars 2020 rover and drone, students will also design, build, and program robots and fly drones across a variety of terrains to accomplish their mission of exploring the surface of the Red Planet.
