| Introduction to Robotics Campers need no previous experience to build and program their EV3 robots and overcome challenges while making friends and learning about computer science, sensors, and design. Intermediate Robotics Campers must have attended Intro to Robotics or served on an FLL team, they build upon their current skills to solve more challenging problems. | Ultimate Sumo Robotics Campers build an entire mini-sumo robot from scratch in just one week. They program their robot to compete in a sumo smack-down and to run mazes and other challenges. These middle and high school campers take home their adrino robot at the end of the week. |
UNI REAP Apprenticeship Program
The University of Northern Iowa will host 4 UNI REAP-STEM Apprentices for summer 2019. These 9th to 12th grade students will join research teams in a variety of labs across campus. UNI REAP-STEM Apprentices will work on real-world STEM research with UNI Faculty, develop research and communication skills, make new friends, learn about STEM Careers, and more. REAP is a commuter summer STEM program that places talented high school students from groups historically under-represented and underserved in STEM into university research laboratories. REAP apprentices work on a hands-on research project, under the direct supervision of a mentor. UNI REAP-STEM Apprentices will spend 200 hours on campus over a 6-8 week period. The majority of the UNI REAP-STEM Program involves working in a lab with a faculty mentor and UNI student summer researchers. The UNI REAP-STEM students will also get together weekly to share their experiences, build professional skills, learn about STEM careers and higher education opportunities, and more. UNI REAP-STEM Apprenticeships are highly competitive and they are paid. This program is funded by the Army Education Outreach Program (AEOP) and STEM at the University of Northern Iowa.
