Registration for all 2025 summer camps will open on February 1, 2025.

Each session of the ±«Óãtv High School Robotics Camp has a capacity of 30.

The Design for X (DFX) Laboratory at the ±«Óãtv offers a dynamic and collaborative space where students can safely engage in multidisciplinary engineering projects. The lab provides a hands-on environment to develop creative design and project management skills, fostering innovation and problem-solving across diverse fields of study.

Equipped with advanced tools and machinery, including 3D printers, CNC routers, laser cutters, welding machines, and oscilloscopes, the DFX Lab supports a wide range of fabrication and prototyping activities. These resources allow students to bring their designs to life, from intricate models to complex mechanical systems, while gaining practical experience with industry-standard equipment.

The ±«Óãtv High School Robotics Camp is led by Dr. Castellanos, a faculty expert whose research focuses on cyber-physical systems, embedded systems, IoT, and control theory. With extensive knowledge in Mechatronics and Industrial Automation, Dr. Castellanos brings real-world expertise to help students explore and excel in robotics and programming.

The ±«Óãtv High School Robotics Camp is held at the ±«Óãtv Tampa Campus, within the College of Engineering at Engineering Building 2 (ENB). The camp's location is 3820 ±«Óãtv Alumni Drive, Tampa, FL 33620.

You will receive several reminder emails leading up to the camp start date. Emails will be sent 60, 30, 14, 7, and 1 day prior, each containing important information to ensure a successful experience at the ±«Óãtv High School Robotics Camp.
