Program Description

Course Details: • Name: AI Competition Challenge • Date: April 19, 2025 – May 17, 2025 • Time: Saturdays, 5:00 PM – 8:00 PM • Location: Burlington Classroom • Grades: G9+ • Prerequisite: R702 Robotics AI Competition Class Description The AI Competition (VAIC) is an advanced robotics challenge that takes the excitement of competitive robotics to the next level by integrating cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) and automation. Unlike traditional VEX competitions, VAIC allows teams to program fully autonomous robots using AI-powered vision systems, real-time data processing, and machine learning algorithms to navigate the field, identify objects, and strategize dynamically. Students will gain hands-on experience in computer vision, AI-driven decision-making, and autonomous robotics, preparing them for future careers in STEM fields. The competition challenges participants to design, build, and program AI-powered robots that can collaborate and compete without human intervention, pushing the boundaries of innovation and engineering. This course is ideal for students who are passionate about robotics, AI, and coding and are looking to develop advanced problem-solving skills in a highly competitive and future-focused environment. Through teamwork, experimentation, and cutting-edge technology, students will embark on an exciting journey into the future of AI-powered robotics!
