Students gain practical experience with a humanoid robot, "Pepper," to learn about AI's role in building a better world, alongside access to a 20,000 sq ft facility with specialized labs and mentorship.
The Johnson STEM Activity Center's Robotics & Coding camp offers middle school students an immersive, hands-on experience in designing, engineering, and programming robots. Students gain skills in various coding languages such as JAVA, Python, C++, SolidWorks, and CAD, and apply these to create their own unique video games using industry-standard engines. A key component of the program involves working with "Pepper," a humanoid robot, to explore how AI technology can be used to build a better world. The center provides a 20,000 square foot facility with design/build areas, innovation and maker spaces, a computer lab, and a competition field, fostering collaborative learning and one-on-one mentorship. The curriculum is designed to empower students through practical application of design, engineering, physics, math, and computer programming principles.
A typical day involves hands-on robotics design, engineering, and programming, learning various coding languages, and working on video game creation and AI technology applications.
This camp is ideal for middle school students interested in hands-on robotics, coding, game design, and exploring AI technology to solve real-world problems.
