Students gain hands-on experience building and programming robots under the guidance of UT Austin Computer Science faculty and experts, while experiencing university life on campus.
The UT Austin Computer Science Academy for Robotics is a one-week residential program for high school students. It offers a hands-on experience in intelligent robotics, covering mechanical design, programming, and control systems. Students will engage in projects in both simulation and with wheeled robots, learning the Linux OS and C++ programming. The curriculum is designed to provide direct exposure to the technology and coding skills necessary for creating functioning robotic systems. Participants will also explore future internship and career opportunities in robotics and gain insights into the UT Austin application process. The program is led by UT Austin Computer Science faculty members and supported by undergraduate program assistants.
Students will apply the fundamentals of mechanical design, programming, and control systems through hands-on robot building and simulation, testing their designs in real challenges.
This academy is ideal for high school students entering grades 10-12 with a genuine interest in robotics and computer science, regardless of prior experience.
