What is ASU Summer Robotics Camp?
Download PDF Flyer in English and PDF Flyer en españolASU’s Robotics Camps are summer program series designed for middle school (7Up camp) and high school (9Up Camp) students who intend to pursue a science and engineering career. The camps were established through a U.S. Department of Education's FIPSE Program grant (2007-2010), an Arizona Science Foundation grant (2007-2009), and Intel Education Partnership. The program is administrated by the School of Computing, Informatics and Decision Systems Engineering at Arizona State University. Camp instructors use component-based robot construction, robotics programming, Web programming, and Alice game programming, and phone app programming as a vehicle to teach the latest engineering design concepts and computing technologies. The robots built by students will enter a robotics challenge and demonstration at the end of the camp. For more program details, please read the "PROGRAM" page.
7Up RobotCamp, June 3 to June 14, 2019
(excluding Saturday and Sunday), from 8:30am
to 4:30pm.
This camp is designed for students entering grades 7 and 8.
Exceptional students entering grade 6 can be considered. Students will start to
learn programming using Alice programming environment with 3D animation, movie
and game development. Then, student will design and construct robots, learn
EV3 robotics programming, and participate in the robotics challenge at the level of
difficulty similar to
FIRST Lego League (FLL) Robotics Competition.

9Up RobotCamp, June 17 to June 28, 2019 (excluding Saturday and Sunday), from 8:30am
to 4:30pm.
As a session in 7Up and 9Up RobotCamps, we also train K-12 school
teachers who are involved in courses or clubs in computing,
game programming, and robotics in their schools.

Dr. Chen is a computing and robotics expert, who led ASU teams to win
two champion titles in the "Ultimate Architecture Sumo-Robot Competition" in Las Vegas in 2005 and
in 2006, as well as the first prize in "Intel Cup" in 2014, 2016, and 2018, respectively. Dr. Chen is also the organizer of the Arizona Robotics Challenge Series
and ASU Robotics Team advisor
This
camp is designed for students entering grades 9, 10, 11, and 12.
The program will cover robot
construction, visual programming language programming, C# programming, Web programming in
Service-Oriented Computing, Phone app programming, and a robotics challenge.

Tuition
The tuitions for both 7Up Camp and 9Up Camp are $650. Tuitions include $50 non-refundable processing fee.Scholarships (assistantship) are available for both of our Robotics camps. The scholarship can cover full or partial tuition, depending on the need, the available fund, and the number of applicants. Those who would like to apply for the scholarship must pay the $50 non-refundable processing fee. We will send you an email with the scholarship questionnaire that will need to be submitted with the necessary paperwork. Please do not include any tax documents with social security numbers. If your child is part of a lunch program at school, please provide that documentation from your school. The applications will be evaluated one month before the camp starts. Seats are guaranteed if the full or partial tuition is awarded, and the $50 registration fee is received.
Scholarships can be awarded to cover the tuition of the K-12 school teachers who are teaching or plan to teach computing or robotics classes in their schools. An endorsement letter from the school principal is required.
To keep the program cost as low as possible for everyone, the program does not offer ASU employee/student discount.Contact and Registration
The camp has a fixed capacity, and the registration will be open until the camp is full. The seats will be guaranteed after the payment and confirmation. For those who applied for financial assistant, seats will be granted if the financial assistant is approved. Pre-arrangement can be made, in special cases, to hold a seat till four weeks before the camp starts.
