FLATE summer camps are designed to introduce middle and high school students to the world of robotics and automation so they can explore the applications in both the industrial and personal use fields. The camp facilitators are from SDHC, HCC and local industry, all selected based on their experience and training. The programs are coordinated by the National Science Foundation funded Florida Advanced Technological

Education Center located at the Hillsborough Community College, Brandon Campus.

High School Robotics and Engineering Camps are open to all students entering 9th -12th grade students as of September 2014. No previous camp or engineering experience is required.

During this exciting program, students will learn how to reconfigure Lego E V 3 ‘Mindstorms’ Robots and program them to follow specific commands, be part of ‘robotic team challenges’,

learn design techniques utilizing software programs and the demonstration of a 3D printer to produce prototype parts. In addition, they will also take a tour through a highly automated manufacturing facility. The camp experience is designed to sharpen their skills in math, physics, the application of scientific principles and new technologies, along with examining careers in the fields of modern manufacturing. Camps will receive hands-on opportunities in STEM projects.
