What's covered?

Join us on this very real and scientific journey in the world of robots, math, and science fiction! Campers will spend the week working rigorously using high-level math and science to uncover the reality behind robots, rocketry, and race car intelligence. This intense week at Penn State will not be forgotten! Sign up today and be one of the elite who gets to:

  • Build and program your very own robot using the latest artificial intelligence algorithms.
  • Test your robot against others in games, mazes, and challenges.
  • Examine the designs and functions of computer-assisted vehicles.
  • Solve the highest-level robotics challenges that even NASA engineers work to solve.
  • Ignite rockets past the stratosphere!
  • Build and keep your very own 'intelligent' robot (comprable to, yet more robust than lego mindstorm design).
  • Take time to reflect on the impact technology has on privacy, our community, and civilization as we know it.
