Designed for beginners, the Computer Engineering 1 Camp will provide fascinating insight into how consumer electronics, automobiles and robots are made. Plus, students will have a chance to design, build, and program a robot. They’ll do this by learning important technical skills, such as how to wire sensors to the processor and implement programs to make their robot intelligent. They’ll even learn how to write Android apps for remotely controlling their robot. At the end of the camp, students will receive a microcontroller kit to keep.
