At the end of the robotics camp, students race their robotics vehicles near the UA Mall.
Course Information
The College of Engineering at the University of Arizona (UA) will present the Burr Brown Texas Instruments Summer Engineering Robotics Camp to attract qualified 6, 7, and 8 grade students to consider engineering as a career option.
The fundamental idea behind the Summer Engineering Robotics Camp is to show prospective engineers exactly how an idea becomes reality. Students will build robots from Lego Mindstorm kits and compete in design team challenges testing their models for speed, endurance, and other technological abilities. Also, the students will be exposed to computer programming. Not only with the Lego program for robots, students will be trained to use Solidworks and Power Injection Technology for Computer aided Design (CAD) and rapid prototyping (RP), respectively, to invent their own robots.
Classroom lectures will cover topics ranging from Fundamentals of Mathematics and Physics to engineering design and project management. Prizes will be awarded to the best overall designs. Students will also be able to experience engineering around campus with guest lectures from student clubs and design teams as well as from industry.
