During this two-week hands-on program, students will work in small groups of two or three under the guidance of Near-Peer Mentors and Teachers.

Relevant topics in physics, engineering, and life skills will be covered. At the end of the workshop, students will compete for the best robot by providing a presentation on their robot design, and participating in a littoral and ground robotic exercise.
