Students learn from UT Austin faculty and industry experts, gaining hands-on experience with robotics while experiencing university life on a top-ranked computer science campus.
The UT Austin Computer Science - Academy for Robotics is a one-week immersive residential program for high school students interested in robotics and computer science. Participants will apply the fundamentals of mechanical design, programming, and control systems through hands-on robot building, simulation, and real challenges. The curriculum introduces students to the Linux operating system and C++ programming language. Students will engage in projects such as assembling and programming a 'Bot'n Roll One A robot' to follow a line track, culminating in robot races. The program also includes insights into the UT Austin admissions process, tours of research facilities, and opportunities to connect with industry professionals and current UT students. Students will gain practical skills in robotics, programming, and teamwork, while also exploring potential career paths in the field.
A typical day involves breakfast, hands-on lessons and activities in the Gates Dell Complex, lunch and leisure time, more hands-on learning and project teamwork in the computer lab, dinner, and evening social activities like bowling or gaming.
This program is best for high school students entering 10th-12th grade who are interested in exploring computer science, gaining coding and teamwork skills, and experiencing university life.
