Summer Engineering Robotics Camp

What is SERC?

The College of Engineering at the University of Arizona will present the Summer Engineering Robotics Camp to attract qualified seventh and eighth grade students to consider engineering as a career option.

The fundamental idea behind the Summer Engineering Robotics Camp is to show prospective engineers exactly how an idea becomes reality. Students will build robots from Lego Mindstorm kits and compete in design team challenges testing their models for speed, endurance, and other technological abilities.

Students will also be exposed to computer programming. In addition to programming their Lego robots, actually designing and building their robots will require them to become familiar with:

SolidWorks -- three-dimensional computer-aided design software
Rapid prototyping using powder-injection technology.

Classroom lectures will cover topics ranging from fundamentals of mathematics and physics to engineering design and project management. Prizes will be awarded to the best overall designs. Students will also be able to experience engineering around campus with guest lectures from student clubs and design teams as well as from industry.

When is SERC?

The Summer Engineering Robotics Camp will take place June 10-14, 2013
