Students gain hands-on robotics experience, learn from UT Austin faculty and industry experts, and get a taste of college life by staying in campus residence halls.
The UT Austin Robotics Camp is a one-week immersive residential program designed for high school students (grades 10-12) interested in robotics and computer science. Participants will gain hands-on experience in robotics design, programming, and control systems. The curriculum introduces students to the Linux operating system and C++ programming language, which they will use to assemble and program robots, carry out projects in simulation, and experiment with wheeled robots. The program emphasizes practical application through team projects and culminates in a robotics competition. Students will also benefit from guest lectures by UT professors and industry experts, explore future internship and career opportunities, and gain insights into the UT admissions process.
Typically, students have breakfast around 7:30 AM, begin activities at 8:30 AM, and spend the day in the computer lab working on projects, attending guest lectures, or touring campus departments. After dinner, students participate in social activities like bowling or movie night, returning to their residence hall by 9:30 PM.
This program is ideal for high school students entering 10th-12th grade who have an interest in robotics and computer science and are looking for a hands-on, immersive experience in a university setting.
