The 10-day Robotics Study tour in the San Francisco Bay Area and Silicon Valley
is an adventure packed with activities and surprises that will educate, amaze,
and delight. This tour includes a 4-day robotic engineering curriculum where
students will build and program their own functional robots. There is also a
short intensive English program that focuses on the vocabulary and language used
in the field of electronic engineering and programming. The tour also includes
field trips to Stanford University, U.C. Berkeley, the Computer History Museum,
the Exploratorium Museum, and the auto manufacturing plant for TESLA. Because
the San Francisco Bay Area is renown as a mecca for gourmet foods, you'll be
treated to a different culinary themed dinner each night, culminating in a Chinese
Banquet at one of the Bay Area's finest Chinese Restaurants.
For the parents who
will be accompanying on the tour, there will be daily expeditions to the various
shopping centers in the Bay Area including the famous Stanford Shopping Center, and
the Livermore Outlet Mall. Come and join us for this entertaining, enlightening,
and fun-filled adventure!
