Students program actual Astrobee satellites, with their code potentially running live on the International Space Station in a culminating competition.
The Zero Robotics Space Coders Camp offers middle school students an immersive 5-week summer program focused on computer programming, robotics, and space engineering. Participants gain hands-on experience by programming Astrobee satellites, which are used on the International Space Station (ISS). The curriculum culminates in a competition where student-developed code controls the satellites to achieve specific objectives, such as navigating obstacles and conserving resources. This program aims to inspire the next generation of STEM professionals by providing unprecedented access to space-related technology and fostering critical engineering skills like problem-solving and teamwork. Students will also have the opportunity to attend a virtual career day hosted by The Aerospace Corporation.
Students engage in a STEM curriculum that introduces them to computer programming, robotics, and space engineering, with a focus on hands-on experience programming Astrobee satellites for competition.
This camp is ideal for middle school students interested in computer programming, robotics, and space exploration, who enjoy collaborative competition and hands-on learning.
