Students gain practical engineering skills and insight into college-level learning by building automated systems and tackling design challenges with robotic kits and the Arduino platform.
This interactive program allows high school students to delve into the world of robotics through hands-on activities. Participants will gain practical engineering skills by working directly with robotic kits and the Arduino platform. The curriculum focuses on designing automated systems and tackling real-world design challenges in collaborative teams. Students will have the opportunity to control robot movements, work with various sensors, and utilize Arduino kits to bring their robotic creations to life. The program aims to provide an exciting laboratory environment for design and discovery, improve problem-solving and engineering design skills, and enhance written and oral communication as well as teamwork abilities. It also offers a glimpse into college-level learning and the dynamic campus environment at Illinois Tech.
A typical day involves hands-on activities from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., where students control robot movements, work with sensors, and utilize Arduino kits.
This program is ideal for high school students passionate about aerospace and engineering, eager to explore robotics, and interested in gaining practical engineering skills through hands-on projects.
