The Bourns College of Engineering at UC Riverside hosts a week-long STEM-focused Engineering Robotics Summer Camp from July 14 through July 18, 2025. The camp introduces high-school students to emerging STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) fields to prepare them for engineering college careers and employment.

Campers will learn the fundamentals of Electronics, robotic Systems, and Embodied AI design. The immersive, custom-designed curriculum includes guided, hands-on lab exercises focused on the most in-demand areas of engineering, including embedded system design, microcontroller programming, autonomous and manual robot-car navigation, obstacle avoidance, and wireless navigation control with mobile phones.

Allowing students to explore STEM is one of the most rewarding aspects of teaching at UCR. Summer camps broaden students' knowledge of the far-reaching impacts of engineering while helping them narrow their field of study before they even set foot on a university campus.

Note: Campers will be notified of their application status the week of June 9. Only admitted campers will receive the payment link. Admitted siblings will receive a per-camper discount of $50. Admitted campers attending the Robotics and Data Science camps will receive a per-camp discount of $50. Discounts cannot be combined.
