This program will help you learn all of the necessary Python fundamentals to start building applications in Python. June 15-26, 2026 (Monday-Friday only). Grades 7-11.

Teachers and high school students collaborate with Dr. Edgar Lobaton's research team to explore how AI is transforming climate change research. Participants will develop a K-12 accessible robotic imaging device using AI tools, contribute to citizen science programs, engineer functional imaging prototypes, translate 2D imaging data into 3D models, and design instructional materials. Program runs June 22 - July 20, 2026 (no work July 3). Requires 40 hours per week commitment, 32-36 hours in research lab plus 4-8 hours professional development. Prerequisites include 3 years teaching experience, U.S. citizenship or permanent residency, and teaching appointment for 2026-2027. Python programming or microcontroller experience recommended but not required.
