At Tufts, our Pre-College Programs offer ambitious high school students the opportunity to learn from renowned faculty and experience a rigorous academic environment at a leading higher education institution. The Engineering Design Lab (EDL) program will expose students to engineering, fabrication, robotics, and computation in the context of solving real world problems. Throughout the two weeks, guest speakers from across the university as well as industry representatives will discuss research and development happening within their labs/research groups, as well as issues and problems they face in the real world. These speakers will be a source of inspiration to the students for completing their engineering design projects. Taking advantage of the state-of-the-art Nolop Makerspace at Tufts, students will have access to and leverage the following platforms: Laser Cutting: Universal Laser Systems VLS 3.60 3D Printing: Prusa i3 MK3 Robotics (students will keep the following hardware for further self-directed explorations after the conclusion of the program): Raspberry Pi and the GoPiGo3 robotic platform Computation: Python programming via Jupyter Notebooks
