Students build and program their own advanced robot using a Raspberry Pi platform and ROS2, which they then take home with the full Python source code.
This week-long camp provides an immersive experience where students learn the fundamentals of advanced robotics, AI, and coding. Using a Raspberry Pi Robot Car platform and the ROS2 (Robot Operating System 2), campers will build a sophisticated robot from scratch, integrating hardware and writing software to bring its capabilities to life. Expert instructors guide students through hands-on projects, teaching essential programming concepts using Python, a versatile language for AI processing and robotic applications. Campers will leverage the ROS2 platform to create complex programs controlling robot movements, sensory inputs, and AI behaviors. They will also explore advanced robot features like integrated multimodal large AI models for smart conversations and environmental awareness, and program HD cameras for AI Vision capabilities such including object/color recognition, line following, and autonomous driving using OpenCV. Students will also participate in challenging coding missions, troubleshooting and debugging their code. By the end of the camp, each student will have created and programmed their own personalized advanced robot to take home, along with the full Python source code and comprehensive learning resources.
A typical day includes specialized camp activities focused on robotics, AI, and coding, with breaks for snacks, lunch, and supervised recess.
This camp is perfect for kids and teens curious about AI, machine learning, and advanced engineering, who enjoy problem-solving and want to build the future of robotics.
