The program offers a unique opportunity to explore cutting-edge robotics and AI while experiencing life on the UC Berkeley campus, taught by UC Berkeley faculty and industry leaders.
The Robolabs VEX AI Summer Academy at UC Berkeley offers high school students an immersive, week-long experience in advanced robotics and artificial intelligence. Participants will engage in hands-on workshops and labs, building and programming sophisticated VEX AI robotic systems. The curriculum covers essential topics such as computer vision, neural networks, 3D printing, and AI object detection. Students will work with cutting-edge technology, including Intel RealSense cameras and NVIDIA Jetson processors, to tackle real-world AI and robotics challenges, including mapping, positioning, path planning, and autonomous robotics. The program aims to develop in-demand technical skills, strengthen college and career pathways in AI and robotics, and provide a prestigious educational experience on a top university campus.
A typical day involves a mix of lectures, hands-on labs, and interactive workshops, often featuring guest speakers from leading tech companies. Students will apply advanced building techniques to group projects, culminating in a demo day where they present their robotic solutions. Beyond the technical skills, the academy fosters teamwork, creativity, and problem-solving abilities. Students will also have the opportunity to experience college life by staying in UC Berkeley dorms, dining on campus, and participating in social activities and excursions around the Bay Area.
A typical day includes breakfast, a morning lecture, a hands-on lab session, lunch, a guest speaker, an interactive workshop, free time for relaxation and socialization, and dinner.
This program is ideal for students aged 13-19 with an interest in robotics, AI, and engineering, who are eager to learn through hands-on projects and expert-led workshops.
