Learn how to build programmable mobile robots and compete with other high school students in the Delaware Valley and get a great introduction in Electrical and Computer Engineering.

Topics to be covered are:

1. Electrical components: Resistance, capacitance and electromagnetic induction coil.
2. Electronic components and integrated circuits: Diodes, transistors, operational amplifiers and timer circuits.
3. Programmable microcontrollers, photoresistors, infrared sensors and transmitters.

The program requires no homework or exams. Temple professors, graduate and undergraduate students will instruct you every step of the way in the state of the art electronics laboratory. Each robot is to navigate the course shown below starting at the left and navigating to the finish line at the bottom right. This is identical to a courses used in international robotic competitions.
