Students get hands-on experience with real FRC lab tools and are guided by an award-winning competitive robotics team.
The AI, Vision, and Innovation Lab at Peninsula Robotics Academy is a hands-on summer camp where students in rising 6th-9th grades build, code, and test real competition-style robots. The camp focuses on the software side of competitive robotics, allowing campers to explore computer vision, AI-assisted coding, and programming fundamentals. Students will gain practical experience with tools used in real FRC labs, including AprilTag tracking and camera setup and tuning. By the end of the week, participants will have collaborated in small groups to design, build, and refine a vision-guided shooting robot, developing problem-solving, teamwork, and technical skills. The curriculum emphasizes project-based learning, culminating in friendly challenges where teams showcase their creations.
Each day, students engage in hands-on building and coding activities, working in small groups to design, build, and refine their robots with mentor support.
This camp is ideal for students who are ready to explore the intelligence behind competitive robots and have some prior coding experience or have completed a 'Build-a-Bot' workshop.
