Fall 2022 Grade Level: 9th - 12th
Residential
High school students will study and experiment with coding and
robotics. Students will learn fundamental computer science with
Brown University's Pyret language and development environment.
Following the CS fundamentals and the engineering design process,
students will then apply their knowledge to the Lego Mindstorms
Robot Inventor kit to research, design using 3-D printers, test,
and debug their robots. The final project will include a
design competition of the completed robots. The robots will compete
as they navigate an obstacle course. Academy participants will also
engage in non-STEM activities to encourage team building and
self-assurance throughout the week. As the week ends students will
reflect on their team design process and their own personal growth
journey during the academy. The students will present their week to
fellow academy participants, family, faculty, sponsors, industry,
and the community.
