What will the technology of the future look like? How do I get from an idea to functioning technology? How will things be regulated and controlled in the age of automation? For example, how does a "SmartHome" know when to switch on the blinds? How can I teach autonomous vehicles to recognize obstacles?
You will be dealing with these exciting questions about the possibilities of regulating and controlling electrical engineering when you attend the Science Camp at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology.
At the Electrical Engineering Science Camp, we will implement our own control project using the open-source electronics platform Arduino. We will be working on programming the microcontroller and connecting and controlling various sensors and actuators. Anyone can take part, with or without previous knowledge.

Over the course of the camp week, we want to develop a project with some special skills. This could be an automatic irrigation system, for example, but also a self-propelled mopping robot - there are no limits to your creativity! You can follow your own ideas and try out sensors and actuators. You can take your finished system home with you!
You will be able to program, work electronically and mechanically and discuss your ideas with each other and with experts. The camp will also allow you to meet new people and explore the topic of (electro)technology in a creative way.
You are welcome to bring your own laptop if you have one. Then you can continue programming after the camp with the materials you take home with you. If you would like to borrow a laptop from us, that is also possible. Just let us know by e-mail before the camp.
