AI Futures Presents: AI Robotics High School Hackathon

Event Description

Join us for an exciting day of innovation and learning at the Emerging Manufacturing Collaboration Center in Indianapolis! Hosted by AI Futures and supported by Mantel Technologies, Applied Research Institute, Defense Civilian Training Corps (DCTC), Naval Sea Warfare Center - Crane Division, and the Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office, this event promises to be an unforgettable experience for high school students interested in robotics and technology.

- Team-Based Challenges: Students will be divided into teams to tackle a series of dynamic challenges using autonomous bots. Each challenge is designed to test and enhance problem-solving skills, creativity, and teamwork.

- Skill Development: Participants will have the opportunity to learn and apply new skills in Python programming, OpenCV for computer vision, and Ubuntu/Linux operating systems. These skills are critical in the fields of robotics and artificial intelligence, and this event offers a hands-on introduction to these powerful tools.

- Collaborative Learning: Throughout the event, students will be guided by our expert mentors. This mentorship will provide invaluable insights and foster a deeper understanding of advanced technologies.

- Career Opportunities: During the event, participants will have the opportunity to learn about various scholarship opportunities and career growth paths available through Department of Defense (DoD) programs. Representatives from the DoD will be on hand to provide detailed information on scholarships, internships, and career development prospects. This interaction aims to guide students interested in advancing their education and careers within the tech and defense sectors, offering insights into navigating these valuable opportunities.

Don't miss this opportunity to dive into the world of autonomous robotics, learn cutting-edge technologies, and collaborate with peers and industry experts. Whether you're a seasoned coder or a curious beginner, this event is designed to inspire and equip you with the skills needed for the future of technology.
