Students gain practical experience in a university electrical and computer engineering laboratory environment, building and programming autonomous mobile robots.
The Hardware & Software Engineering: Coding Challenge at Temple University provides high school students with an immersive experience in basic coding and robotics. Participants will learn fundamental coding skills using open-source hardware and software. The program emphasizes hands-on learning, where students will program microcontrollers to interact with their environment by sensing and reacting to inputs like moisture, sound, and light. Students will also practice prototyping and manufacturing skills, culminating in the development and presentation of a new product idea. A significant component of the camp involves building and programming mobile robots to perform various tasks, such as autonomous obstacle avoidance and line following. The curriculum introduces students to concepts in electrical and computer engineering through project-based learning in a university laboratory setting.
A typical day involves morning and afternoon workshops or courses, with a lunch break and a professional development or college readiness seminar.
This program is ideal for high school students curious about how things work and interested in exploring electrical and computer engineering through hands-on robotics and coding projects.
