Summer Robotics information

What is the difference between Summer Robotics vs Summer Mechanical Engineering?

AspectSummer RoboticsSummer Mechanical Engineering
Required CredentialsHigh school or undergraduate robotics experience, relevant courseworkHigh school or undergraduate mechanical engineering coursework, basic engineering knowledge
Work EnvironmentRobotics labs, team projects, hands-on building and programmingMechanical labs, design projects, prototype development
Industry UsageRobotics competitions, automation companies, research labsManufacturing, product design, automotive, aerospace

Summer Robotics and Summer Mechanical Engineering share similarities in educational background and work environments, such as hands-on projects and technical coursework. However, Summer Robotics focuses more on programming, sensors, and automation, while Summer Mechanical Engineering emphasizes design, mechanics, and prototyping. Both roles prepare students for careers in engineering but target different specializations within the industry.

VEX Robotics Instructor - Summer Camp

Education Unlimited

Stanford, CA • On-site

$1.4K - $1.6K/wk

Temporary

Re-posted 18 days ago

Job description

Education Unlimited® provides academic summer camps & pre-college summer programs for students entering grades 4-12. Our summer programs include public speaking camps, college admissions prep programs, science camps, summer acting camp, writing camps, computer camp, leadership camp, video production camp, and college tours.

Course Description: 

In Robotics, students will explore the emerging science of robot mechanics as they build and program their robot from scratch, remotely control it, experiment with light and pressure sensors, create drive trains for varying terrains, and play robotic sports.Students will use the VEX5 robotics platform, the world’s premier classroom robotics platform. We will begin by building a chassis - a stable structure to provide physical support and like a skeleton.  This chassis holds everything in place and is the building block from which other systems can be added. Next, we will mount motors to the chassis and add wheels and gears to complete the drive system so our robot can move as we learn about speed and torque.  We will conclude the week with a fully functioning robot that we have programmed to overcome obstacles and defeat challenges at our command. 
As we build and program our robots, we will explore electrical circuits and built power (batteries) as well as communications systems (radio controller) for our robots. As we employ design thinking we will learn about the engineering process to brainstorm, design, construct, test, and redesign as we used our robots to solve problems. Finally, we will enhance our robots with sensors, robotic arms, and programming as we test their capabilities in several early challenges, including terrain challenge and a transportation challenge! Our week will culminate in a finale presentation challenge of designing a robotics sports competition!

VEX Robotics Camp Instructor 

Available sessions: Instructors may be hired for one session or for multiple sessions of this program. Please indicate your availability on your application. 

Flight, Housing and Meals Provided: 

  • Week of July 5 @ UC Berkeley - Middle School Robotics

  • Week of July 26 @ Stanford - Middle School Robotics Robotics 
  • Week of August 2 @ Stanford - Middle School Robotics Robotics 
  • Two-Week HS Competition Intensive - Weeks of July 19 and July 26 

Education Unlimited seeks energetic and experienced VEX V5 Robotics instructors for our fun, activity-based summer programs.

In-person class opportunities available: 

In-person Camp Responsibilities include teaching the Education Unlimited curriculum, supervising campers both in and out of the classroom, organizing and leading classroom labs, and executing a finale showcasing student work at the end of camp. Instructors will also be responsible for tracking student work and handing in any deliverables to the camp director and EU home office. 

In addition to teaching responsibilities, instructors should be available and willing to assist the camp director with active supervision, recreational activities, and some administrative tasks. Instructors should be mature, reliable, and able to work well with fellow staffers. Instructors are also expected to act as mentors, and will be asked to assist with field trips and guide students on excursions. With the support of the entire staff, instructors are responsible for the health and safety of students, in addition to fulfilling instructional objectives.

At all overnight programs, instructors have the option of commuting to camp each day or staying overnight on campus. Overnight staff members will receive full room and board, and will be expected to help with evening supervision duties.

Qualifications:

Instructors are usually year-round science teachers, are studying science at the graduate level, or have some other significant teaching/mentoring experience in the area of VEX V5 Robotics. 

  • Must reside in the United States - California candidates prioritized
  • 2+ years experience teaching VEX V5 Robotics or significant subject matter knowledge.
  • Experience working with middle or high school-age students in an academic setting.
  • Preference is given to those with significant instructional/competitive experience.
  • Preference is given to those with advanced degrees.
  • A passion for robotics education.
  • A calm and professional demeanor.
  • Self-motivation and follow-through.
  • Strong organizational skills and attention to detail.
