Students gain extensive project-based learning experience in a university electrical and computer engineering laboratory environment, guided by Temple faculty and students.
The Temple University High School Robotics Institute is a full-day, two-week program designed to introduce high school students to college-level electrical and computer engineering through hands-on robotics. Participants will learn to build and program autonomous mobile robots, focusing on tasks such as obstacle avoidance and line following. The curriculum covers visual programming with Makecode and object-oriented programming with Python. Students will gain practical experience with sensors, motors, microcontrollers, and other electrical components in a university laboratory setting. The program emphasizes project-based learning and aims to spark curiosity in STEM fields, providing a strong foundation in robotics and electronics. It's an excellent opportunity to explore engineering concepts and develop problem-solving skills with guidance from Temple professors, graduate, and undergraduate students.
A typical day involves morning and afternoon class sessions, trips, studio time, or project work, with a lunch break and a dedicated study hour with Pre-College Mentors.
This program is best for rising 9th-12th graders who are curious about STEM, interested in exploring electrical and computer engineering, and want hands-on experience building and programming robots.
