Engineering Summer Academy at Penn - Robotics
https://esap.seas.upenn.edu/courses/robotics/
Students will be introduced to the state of the art in robotics, design, manufacturing, and automation. The course ties together engaging classroom discussions on a variety of topics including sensing, actuation, control, and embedded programming. Working in groups, they will build their own mobile robot that can be tele-operated with some onboard autonomy.
The program will culminate in competitive demonstrations in which students will test their robots against each other in a specifically designed course.
Eligible students should have prior coursework in Physics, Math (Precalculus is a plus but not a pre-requisite), and C programming or Autocad.
TCNJ Robotics Summer Camp
https://precollege.tcnj.edu/tcnj-robotics-summer-camp/
High School students are invited to apply for an intensive summer Robotics Camp offered by the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at The College of New Jersey (TCNJ), and sponsored by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM).
The intent of the camp is to motivate the most creative minds of a new generation of prospective Electrical and Computer Engineers to become global leaders in an increasingly technological world. The program aims to create a community of students who participate in and contribute to an intensive and powerful academic experience delivered by distinguished educators and professionals.
Camp participants will be introduced through a residential College academic experience to the exciting field of Electrical and Computer Engineering, and will learn topics not traditionally taught in High Schools such as Microcontroller Programming, Sensing Systems, Digital Electronics, Wireless Communications, Computer Vision, and more.
Southern Methodist University, Lyle School of Engineering- Advanced Robotics (First Tech Challenge) Program for High School students
https://www.smu.edu/Lyle/Institutes/CaruthInstitute/K-12Programs/EngineeringCamp/Apply11-12Camp
The Advanced Robotics (FIRST Tech Challenge) Program is for rising high school students in grades 9th through 12th. During this week-long, full-day camp participants will work in pairs and learn how to build a TETRIX robot, a more complex and robust robot than LEGO robots. They will also learn to program their robot, both autonomously and with remote controls, and use their knowledge to complete different tasks and challenges with the robots. This camp will teach the basics of TETRIX building and programming for students planning to compete in UIL sanctioned robotics competitions. This camp also fulfills requirements for the Robotics Boy Scout Merit Badge and the Robotics Girl Scout Badge.

Lipscomb University and Nissan Engineering and Robotics Camps - Advanced BisonBot Robotic Camp
Designed for students with some previous robot experience
This camp is for students age 12 and above (completed 6th grade) with some robot experience (previous attendance in a robotics camp, participation on a robotics team, etc.) and will extend their knowledge in mechanical and electrical principles, wireless communication, and will provide them with opportunities to learn and apply various robot design and construction techniques. Advanced camp concludes with a reception and head-to-head robot competition involving robots of the camper’s own design and construction. The reception and competition is open to family and friends.
John Hopkins - Engineering Innovation
http://engineering.jhu.edu/ei/about-ei/program-description/#accordion-panel-2
EI is an exciting, hands-on summer course for high school students interested in engineering. This program is offered at the JHU Homewood campus in Baltimore, MD and at other sites in Maryland, California, the District of Columbia, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Washington. A residential experience is available at the JHU Homewood campus and Hood College.
Over four or five weeks (depending upon the site), students complete lab activities in computer engineering, chemical engineering, electrical engineering, materials science, civil engineering, and mechanical engineering. They also prepare a presentation in response to a Request for Proposal, learn about engineering economics, write a research paper, take weekly quizzes, and complete a comprehensive final exam.
Naval College- Summer STEM program
https://www.usna.edu/Admissions/Programs/STEM/
Engineering is all about creating, building, and making things better! So what does it take to be an engineer? If you like math and science, you are off to a great start. If you enjoy discovering new things, solving problems, and learning how things work - even better! Creativity, persistence, and the desire to make the world a better place are also important qualities. Becoming an engineer requires hard work and a good education. Our summer program will be a great start to your career in science and engineering.
Applications are currently closed. The application will open in January 2017. For other exciting STEM opportunities, click on the SAME button below to view STEM camps offered by the Society of American Military Engineers.
