2+2+2  Robotics Technology Project

Students interested in the most recent, innovative technology have a unique opportunity for training in the cutting-edge robotics industry. Through a partnership with The Technology Collaborative and California University of Pennsylvania (Cal U), along with guidance and support from Carnegie Mellon University, students study robotics using curriculum developed through the National Robotics Engineering Center. The students move through a series of introductory activities into more advanced design and control challenges, using the same state-of-the-art equipment as California University. Students study robotics technology case studies and participate in hands-on lab experiences. High school students can earn up to 15 credits for use in continuing their education at California University. Because the application of robotics systems is beneficial to many industries, there are numerous employment opportunities for robotics technicians in the Pittsburgh area, as well as nationally.
