Students get to build and take home their own autonomous RC vehicle, providing a tangible outcome and continued learning opportunity.
The Rutgers AI Maker Workshop Series and Camps - Autonomous Vehicle Lab offers high school students a hands-on opportunity to delve into the exciting world of artificial intelligence and robotics. Participants will learn to convert off-the-shelf RC cars into autonomous vehicles, gaining practical experience in Python programming, computer vision, and machine learning. The program emphasizes physical builds and machine learning applications, allowing students to train their cars to navigate various tracks and obstacles. Students will utilize fabrication tools at the Rutgers Makerspace, including CAD programs, 3D printers, and laser cutters, to design and modify their vehicles. Each student will keep their autonomous RC car at the end of the camp, enabling them to continue their learning and experimentation.
A typical day involves hands-on activities where students work on converting RC cars into autonomous vehicles, learning Python programming, computer vision, and machine learning through practical projects. They will also utilize Makerspace tools for fabrication and design.
This camp is best for high school students with a high interest and capabilities in AI, robotics, and programming, who enjoy hands-on projects and want to build their own autonomous vehicle.
