Step into the world of modern engineering at the MicroMaker: Microchips to Collaborative Robotics summer camp for ages 15 - 18, where students explore how technology evolves from microchips to real-world robotic systems. Participants will learn directly from an Arizona State University faculty member, gaining insight into the same tools and techniques used in college labs and industry. The experience begins with embedded systems, where students program the ESP32-S3 using MicroPython and work with sensors and peripherals to build interactive devices.

2026 Topic: Building Better Communities 

Our communities are in trouble. Differences of opinion (especially those having to do with politics) start fights between family members, friends and neighbors. Political polarization is making it increasingly hard to see the good in people who aren’t on “the same side” (whatever side that is). Tackling this head on, our focus this week will be on cultivating civic virtues — such as openmindedness, humility and empathy — skills that we need to get through polarizing times.

Some guiding questions that we will be engaging: 

This three-day classroom-based camp introduces participants to User Experience (UX) concepts and methods for testing out usability. Campers will also engage in a controlled virtual reality (VR) experience in the Dreamscape Learn Lab. Interacting with the unique VR education simulation, campers will learn about user understanding and what goes into creating effective user experiences.
