The curriculum is an abridged version of a freshman-level Design Innovation course at Stony Brook University, offering participants early exposure to college-level engineering instruction.
The Stony Brook University Pre-College Summer Robotics Engineering program offers high school students a hands-on, week-long immersive experience in the fundamentals of robotics. Participants will engage in designing, building, and programming robots, gaining valuable engineering skills and fostering critical thinking. The curriculum, an abridged version of Stony Brook's freshman Design Innovation course, covers essential topics such as electronic circuits, linkage mechanisms, sensing, actuation, and Arduino programming. Students will learn to design robot motions, prototype their ideas, and integrate them into autonomous systems using components like servos, DC motors, ultrasonic sensors, and Bluetooth for mobile device control. The program aims to provide a genuine feel for college life and hands-on experience in a STEM field.
A typical day combines lectures with immersive hands-on activities, allowing students to apply theoretical concepts to practical robot design and programming challenges.
This program is ideal for rising high school juniors and seniors (ages 15-17) who are interested in exploring robotics and engineering fundamentals through hands-on projects and gaining insight into college-level academics.
