# Event Details - **Event Name**: Autonomous Robotics Summer Camp - **Event Start and End Date**: Mon, 22 Jun, 2026 at 09:00 am – Fri, 26 Jun, 2026 at 01:00 pm - **Event Description**: Spend a week designing, assembling, and programming a fully autonomous AI-powered robot. Innovators (13+) take their robot home at the end.About this EventDr. Anaiya Reliford, Founder and CEO of Orbit of Opportunity, is also a Senior Research Scientist working on Embedded AI systems for air and space platforms with the Department of the Air Force. She holds three degrees from Howard University and is on a journey to become an astronaut. She founded Orbit of Opportunity to engage underrepresented youth in meaningful, hands-on STEM projects that produce industry-aligned credentials, drawing on her extensive experience across academia, government, and industry.This summer, she's hosting a hands-on robotics camp where students ages 13+ build their own autonomous robot, code it to think and respond using the same AI technology behind ChatGPT, and take it home at the end of the week to continue training it. The camp runs June 22–26 in Rockville, MD, with seats capped at 12 so every student gets direct instruction from Dr. Reliford herself. The students don’t need to bring anything as she will have everything there for them.Details and registration: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/f6d1ce20-6bdf-11f1-a9f5-090a8c317ded-rimg-w1200-h628-dc081e40-gmir.jpg Monday?: 09:00 AM - 01:00 PMMonday FoundationsHost: Dr. Anaiya RelifordInfo: - Foundations - Frame & first servos - Servo calibration - Body construction - Raspberry Pi setup - Workbench safetyTuesday?: 09:00 AM - 01:00 PMTuesday: Complete the BuildHost: Dr. Anaiya RelifordInfo: - Torso to first boot - Torso assembly - Sensor integration - Head and camera - First walkWednesday?: 09:00 AM - 01:00 PMWednesday: Python and MotionHost: Dr. Anaiya RelifordInfo: - Scripted behavior - Python fundamentals - Motion sequencing - Trick routines - Debug & iterateThursday?: 09:00 AM - 01:00 PMThursday: Sensing and VisionHost: Dr. Anaiya RelifordInfo: - Autonomous behaviors - Obstacle avoidance - Touch-reactive responses - Computer vision - Face & object trackingFriday?: 09:00 AM - 01:00 PMFriday: AI and ShowcaseHost: Dr. Anaiya RelifordInfo: - Voice + public demo - LLM voice integration - Custom personality - Showcase rehearsal - Live demo to family - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/rockville/autonomous-robotics-summer-camp/100001991473030443 - **Event Categories**: summer-camps, kids, workshops, art, fine-arts, it - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Age Limit: 13+ - Duration: 4 hours - Location: 11200 Rockville Pike - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Rockville - **state**: MD - **country**: United States - **location**: 11200 Rockville Pike - **lat**: 39.040754 - **long**: -77.11080679999999 - **full address**: 11200 Rockville Pike, 11200 Rockville Pike, Rockville, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Autonomous Robotics Summer Camp - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/419977b4f6ea8076eafc01ebe065940bf50696d020f270e6b3a83025c2f50209-rimg-w1200-h628-dc081e40-gmir.jpg?v=1781214324 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Autonomous Robotics Summer Camp being held? - **A:** Autonomous Robotics Summer Camp takes place on Mon, 22 Jun, 2026 at 09:00 am to Fri, 26 Jun, 2026 at 01:00 pm at 11200 Rockville Pike, 11200 Rockville Pike, Rockville, United States. - **Q**: Is there an age restriction for Autonomous Robotics Summer Camp? - **A:** Autonomous Robotics Summer Camp is strictly for guests aged 13 and above.
