About this camp

Stop studying the future. Start building it.

Get hands-on with the tech that’s changing everything. This camp isn’t just about theory; it’s your opportunity to dive deep into robotics, data science, and digital twins, the core systems of tomorrow.

We’re putting you in control of real industrial robots. Spend the week programming articulated arms to perform precise tasks typical in advanced manufacturing and learn to incorporate vision and sensor technology into automated systems. Work in teams to analyze data and create digital twin models of real factories, powerful virtual labs for experimentation beyond the physical world.

This is where engineering concepts meet real-world problem-solving. By the end of the week, you won’t just understand intelligent manufacturing; you’ll also gain valuable, practical skills that can give you an edge in college applications and future STEM careers.
