The camp provides a practical, build-focused robotics experience within a university setting, emphasizing system thinking and real-world prototyping using industry-standard software.
The TCNJ iSTEM Automation and Robotics Day Camp offers rising 8th-12th graders an immersive, engineering-centered robotics experience. Participants will gain practical skills by programming microcontroller devices and designing automated circuits. The curriculum emphasizes hands-on learning, allowing campers to build real-world prototypes using rapid prototyping tools and control robots within the MathWorks Simulink environment. This program is designed to move students beyond casual robotics into system thinking, fostering technical problem-solving and creative design. Students will engage in activities that culminate in a robotics competition, providing a tangible outcome for their efforts. The camp aims to motivate a new generation of prospective engineers by introducing them to topics not traditionally taught in high schools, such as microcontroller programming, sensing systems, and digital electronics, all within a supportive university setting.
A typical day includes interesting electrical and computer engineering sessions in the morning and afternoon, with hands-on robot building, programming, and utilization facilitated by TCNJ faculty and students.
This camp is ideal for high school students with an interest in robotics or engineering who want a practical, build-focused environment and an introduction to system thinking.
