If you're the parent or friend of a high school or college student interested in a science or engineering career, please share the word!
NIWC Pacific works with two summer internship programs designed for exceptional high school students and collegiate students who have an interest in a future career in the science, technology, mathematics and engineering (STEM) fields. These internship programs provide an opportunity for students to participate in research at a Department of Navy (DoN) laboratory during the summer. The goals of these programs are to encourage participating students to pursue science and engineering careers, to further their education via mentoring by laboratory personnel and their participation in research, and to make them aware of DoN research and technology efforts, which can lead to employment within the DoN. ------------------------------------------------------------ The Science and Engineering Apprenticeship Program (SEAP) is for high school candidates: Lab specific eligibility criteria can be found here: https://seap.asee.org/participating_labs Additional NIWC PAC specific information: 1) High School students MUST be 16 years of age by 31 December, 2019. 2) SEAP Program dates are 15 Jun – 7 Aug, 2020.

This summer, the league is introducing one week skill-shops for students interested in learning how to program FTC robots. The first of a three course sequence will be offered the week of July 22nd at the League’s Carmel Valley campus. This course will cover the basics of hardware setup using the REV Expansion Hub, GitHub revision control, Android Studios setup, configuration and Navigation and FTC DevKit. The students will program FTC legal reference robots to move, follow a simple path and to manipulate its arm and claw. Prior basic Java programming knowledge is a prerequisite. The cost of the course is $360, and the classes are held July 22nd-26th 3-5pm. For more information, please visit the League’s Portal or contact

We hope you all enjoyed the FIRST Launch season as much as we did! Applications are now open for the Lunar Legacy Robotics Invitational, celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the Apollo 11 Moon Landing. This is your chance to test your robot where NASA tested theirs! When: July 19 and 20, 2019 Exactly 50 years to the day from the 1st Moon Landing Where: Northern Arizona University, Flagstaff, AZ For: FIRST Lego League “Into Orbit” teams FIRST Tech Challenge “Rover Ruckus” teams Cost: $250 per team Application: https://nau.edu/cstl/robotics/ Deadline: May 15, 2019 Questions: Contact Patti Strones, FIRST VISTA (pstrones@firstinspires.org) In addition to the robotics competition, teams will have the opportunity to participate in professional development sessions and tour historic sites in Flagstaff that supported the Apollo program including Lowell Observatory (where Pluto was discovered) and the “cinders” where NASA tested their Lunar Rover and trained the Apollo Astronauts. The Lunar Legacy Invitational is part of a year-long celebration of Flagstaff’s role in the Apollo missions. You can learn more about the Lunar Legacy events here: https://www.flagstaffarizona.org/go/lunarlegacy/ We hope to see you this summer in Flagstaff!

 Join us for an exciting week of intensive FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) Robot Construction! This camp is for High School students from any school in the San Diego County area entering 9th through 12th grades in the fall. Students are welcome at all knowledge levels, whether you’re just learning about robotics, or if you already have some experience on an FTC Robotics team and want to learn more.
During this weeklong Robotics Boot Camp, students will build a fully functional robot using FTC-approved parts and programming. Each student will learn all aspects of hardware and software design that goes into building an FTC robot. Students will work in small teams to design, build, and program an FTC robot from the ground up. The FTC robots can be up to 18" in length, and they will be built using the following parts: Extruded Aluminum Frames, REV Expansion Hub Robot Controllers, Cell Phone, and REV motors with encoders. This Boot Camp program is designed to provide a comprehensive overview so students will have a working knowledge of each aspect of the FTC Robotics program. This will give them a big head start if they’re interested in joining an FTC team or similar robotics program at their school during the school year, because they'll be able to step in and take on any of the roles on a robotics team with confidence. This cost for this camp is $250 with an additional Materials Fee of $60, for a total of $310 per student. This camp has a maximum of 15 students, so sign up for one of the camp sessions now at www.grauerschool.com/summer to reserve your spot! FTC Robot Construction Boot Camp Sessions:
