Students gain hands-on experience building an autonomous driving robot and collaborate with UC Irvine faculty and students, getting a taste of college life and research.
The UC Irvine ICS Summer Academy's Intelligent Robotics program offers high school students an immersive, hands-on experience in robot design and construction. Participants will delve into various aspects of robotics, including software development for microcontrollers, circuit building, and the physical construction of robot frameworks. The program focuses on building and programming an autonomous driving robot, providing practical skills in a rapidly evolving field. Students will gain valuable experience in applying classroom knowledge to real-world projects, culminating in a capstone presentation where they showcase their findings and solutions to peers, parents, and faculty. The curriculum is designed by UC Irvine faculty and emphasizes essential skills for scientific research such as communication, creativity, critical thinking, and collaboration.
A typical day includes morning lectures by UC Irvine professors, followed by afternoon lab sessions where students apply their learning to practical projects and team-building activities.
This program is ideal for rising high school students in grades 9-12 and graduating 12th graders with introductory programming experience in Python who are eager to explore robot design and autonomous systems.
