Creating an Autonomous Vehicle
One-Week Workshop, Dates Offered:
Session 2A (7/6/26 – 7/10/26)
Session 3A (7/20/26 – 7/24/26) @ St. Thomas
Session 4B (8/10/26 – 8/14/26)

Autonomous vehicles drive themselves using sensors, programming, and smart decision-making without human control. Building self-driving robots teaches how sensors use detection, how code processes that information, and how engineering combines hardware and software to create machines that can navigate on their own.
Adventurers will design and program their own autonomous robot vehicles that sense their environment and make driving decisions. Students build working robots while learning to program sensor responses through visual coding, from detecting obstacles to navigating paths without any remote control. Their personal ProjectFUN vehicle becomes a self-driving robot they can take home, race, and continue improving and playing with friends.
Projects in this workshop may include: Creating a model car that can follow a line or programming a vehicle that can detect a “cliff”
