The design and development of autonomous vehicles like self-driving cars incorporates elements of engineering, artificial intelligence, industrial design, and much more. For students looking to enter a fascinating, hands-on field with plenty of avenues for specialization, autonomous vehicles offer many opportunities.

This workshop for Adventurers takes an expanded look into different ways vehicles can be made autonomous. Instructors will demonstrate the various hardware and software that must work in concert to create reliable, self-driving systems.

By the end of the week, each Adventurer will be able to create an electronic autonomous vehicle that they can play with (and improve) at home.

Projects in this workshop may include: Creating a model car that can follow a line or programming a vehicle that can detect a “cliff."

Chess has many variants and varieties to its play. Students this week will be practicing Lightning Chess, Blitz Chess, and Bughouse Team Chess. Sporting skills are supported and enhanced by exercising physical and mental muscles in addition to those most commonly used in the performance of the sport per se. Marathon runners, for instance, lift weights and do pull ups in addition to running long distances in training. Similarly, chess players benefit by exercising their visualization and variation-building skills through chess-like mental play and exercises. Students will be developing tactical and strategical skills through chess cross-training in Give-Away Chess, Monster Chess, Whack-A Move Chess, and other fun chess variants including exciting Bughouse Team Chess! Cross-Training in Chess offers the applied benefits of directed attention and organized thinking through chess camp play and active learning alongside friendly and helpful chess campers.

Technology apprentices will get to experience the behind-the-scenes magic that happens every summer to prepare over 300 computers for the new school year. Help to unbox all the new computers, install Windows 11, service and prepare equipment for the new school year, and configure and test the latest software and gadgets. Note that this camp is only for current and former STS students.

Disclaimer: The summer apprentice program provides on-the-job training for computer care and maintenance. Students who participate in the apprentice program will be required to work in small groups to complete activities which include cleaning and repairing computers, checking devices for software and errors, testing new programs and settings, and working to deadlines. While the apprentice program has no formal teaching component, students will be involved in teamwork and become very familiar with the school's technology and how to troubleshoot tech problems.
