In our engaging robotics summer programs for high school students, we explore the science of robot mechanics, engineering, and design thinking, all in a collaborative, team-based format. Students design actual robots using the world’s premier classroom robotics platform, VEX5, tackling terrain, transportation, and sensor-based challenges before applying their skills in a final robotics sports competition.

Held on the campuses of top U.S. colleges, including Stanford University, our robotics summer program emphasizes learning by doing. This extends beyond the classroom, with students staying in residential dormitories and eating at university dining halls, getting an early taste of college campus life.
