CU Inaugural Bot Camp is June 2-7, 2019 By Joan C. McKinney Campbellsville, KY - Campbellsville University has announced an Inaugural 2019 Summer Honors Academic Robotics Event (aka "Bot Camp"), scheduled for June 2-7. The university is offering high achieving high school juniors (advancing to their senior year fall 2019) the opportunity to experience the world of robotics and consider placing the study of computer science and robotics, at Campbellsville University, on their radar. The week-long experiential learning event will include the creation of an autonomous vehicle (hardware and software), time-trial competition, boarding at Campbellsville University, meals, evening events and a tour of corporations that utilize robotics. Students will learn to use micro-controllers, an assortment of electronic sensors and actuators and a basic set of hardware and software controls. Through a series of team-based experiential learning activities (three students per team), attendees will create an autonomous vehicle capable of self-guided as well as controlled navigation. The culmination of this event is a time-trial competition demonstrating each team's autonomous vehicle's ability to successfully navigate an obstacle course. At least three applicants per high school are encouraged. The represented winning high school will be given a trophy indicating "Top Honors in 2019 Bot Camp Competition." Each member of the winning team will be awarded a $100 gift certificate. Parents will be invited to witness their son's and/or daughter's participation in the final competition. There is an attendance limit to the top 30 high achieving high school juniors (advancing to their senior year fall 2019). You can apply by April 30 to Campbellsville.edu/botcamp. Deadline for application is April 30, and deadline for commitment to attend is May 6. Contact Dr. Vincent Scovetta, associate professor of computer science, at vascovetta@campbellsville.edu or Dr. Robert Street, professor of computer information systems, at rastreet@campbellsville.edu for more information.
