Students gain extensive project-based learning experience in a state-of-the-art university electrical and computer engineering laboratory environment, guided by Temple faculty and students.
The Temple University College of Engineering Summer Robotics Institute offers high school students an immersive, project-based learning experience in electrical and computer engineering. Participants will engage in hands-on activities, building an autonomous, programmable mobile robot from scratch. The curriculum covers essential topics such as sensors, motors, microcontrollers, and electrical components. Students will learn visual programming with Makecode and object-oriented programming with Python to enable their robots to perform tasks like obstacle avoidance, lane following, and even dancing. The program aims to introduce students to exciting concepts in robotics and electronics within a university laboratory setting, providing a strong foundation for those interested in pursuing electrical and computer engineering in college.
A typical day involves morning and afternoon class sessions, trips, or studio/project time, with a break for lunch. Students work on interactive, project-based learning, often in small groups, and receive support from undergraduate mentors.
This program is best for high school students, including rising 9th graders, who are curious about STEM and want a hands-on introduction to robotics and electrical and computer engineering in a university environment.
