What is ASU Robotics Camp?
ASU’s Robotics Camp is a summer program series designed for high school students who intend to pursue a science and engineering career. The camp is sponsored by the U.S. Department of Education, Intel and the School of Computing and Informatics at Arizona State University. Camp instructors use component-based robot construction, robotics programming and Alice game programming as a vehicle to teach the latest engineering design concepts and computing technologies. The robots built by students will enter a robotics competition and demonstration.
RobotCamp7up,
June 8th to June 25, 2009, Monday through Thursday, from 8am
to 12pm. The afternoon program is optional. This camp is
designed for both middle school and high school students.
Middle school students will be taught at the level of
difficulty similar to
FIRST Lego League (FLL) Robotics Challenge, while
the high school students will work on more difficult
missions such as programming autonomous robots.
Robotics Camp July 7 to July 17, 2009 from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. An additional week, July 20 to July 24, of advanced development will be available for enthusiasts. This camp will be taught in ASU Brickyard, 699 S. Mill Ave, Tempe, 85281.
Both camp will be taught in ASU Engineering Building Brickyard. Please click here to see the full detail of this camp.
The camp will be taught by Dr. Yinong Chen and his assistants. Dr. Chen is a computing and robotics expert, who led ASU teams to win champion titles in the "Ultimate Architecture Sumo-Robot Competition" in Las Vegas in 2005 and 2006. Dr. Chen is also the organizer of the Arizona Robotics Challenge Series, sponsored by Intel, and previous Robotics Camps (2006-2008).
