Middle School Robotics Week:
This program is generously supported by Cornell University's New York Consortium for Space Technology, and is free for 2026.
Designed exclusively for middle school students, this week introduces participants to the exciting world of robotics through hands‑on building, coding, and problem‑solving. Students will explore how robots move, react, and interact with their environment while experimenting with a variety of beginner‑friendly tools and technologies. Through guided challenges and creative design tasks, participants will strengthen their teamwork, critical thinking, and innovation skills—all while discovering how robotics connects to real‑world science and engineering. This week is perfect for curious learners ready to dive into technology in a fun, supportive, and engaging environment
Applications to register: An open application window will run until April 20. If the number of requests exceeds capacity, a fair lottery will be used to determine placements, and remaining applications will be placed on a waitlist. All placements will be confirmed via email after April 20.
