Carnegie Mellon AI Robot Summer School|Artificial Intelligence and Robots · G6-G8 Grade · Ten-day Transformation Future Creator

As you may have noticed, the humanoid robotics industry has been accelerating its development over the past two years, with artificial intelligence and robotics technologies becoming the core drivers of new-generation productivity. Industry data shows that the talent gap in related fields has exceeded one million. Scientific and technological literacy is no longer merely a “plus point,” but rather the essential “entry ticket” for our children to compete in the future AI era.

For students in grades 6 to 8, the question is no longer ‘Will this technology affect my future,’ but rather—will they become creators of these technologies in the future, or merely passive users?

To address this question, we launched the Carnegie Mellon AI Robotics Summer School—a ten-day immersive AI and robotics program developed in collaboration with the official curriculum of Carnegie Mellon University’s (CMU) School of Robotics. It is neither a hobby class nor a competition training camp; rather, it serves as a rigorous, project-driven “accelerator” that places students at the intersection of cutting-edge engineering, applied AI, and entrepreneurial leadership—enabling them not only to build robots but also to think like entrepreneurs.

The first step from the classroom to the forefront of technological innovation.

The Carnegie Mellon University School of Robotics (CMRA), affiliated with the CMU School of Computer Science—one of the world’s top-ranked institutions in computer science—is one of the most respected organizations in robotics education globally. Consistently ranked among the leading universities in computer science and engineering worldwide, CMRA’s School of Robotics has pioneered evidence-based STEM curricula adopted by institutions in over 60 countries, nurturing generations of engineers, scientists, and tech company founders.

BMS is the only institution in Chinese mainland officially authorized by CMRA, enabling it to fully utilize its curriculum system and issue student certification certificates. The robotics certification pathway of this Science and Technology Innovation Camp is meticulously designed in strict accordance with the standards of the CMU Robotics Institute, directly introducing this internationally recognized educational framework to Beijing.

This is not an ordinary robotics class merely named after a prestigious university. From Python programming methodologies to systems engineering documentation, every aspect embodies CMU’s rigorous robotics education philosophy that prioritizes computer science. Unlike many robotics camps on the market that focus on “building blocks” or “competition preparation,” our curriculum treats robotics as a minimum viable product—students must design, program, and debug from scratch like true engineers, ultimately presenting their entrepreneurial proposals to judges and parents on the final day.

1. Engineering + Entrepreneurship: Children Learn Not Only Technology, But Also Business Acumen

Children don’t just learn programming and building; they also apply these skills in real-world business scenarios. Students form startup teams, identify real-world urban challenges, design technological solutions, and develop comprehensive business plans—including market analysis, financial projections, and branded roadshow materials. The robot becomes their first “tech product.”

2. Start learning AI hands-on from day one: Don’t put it off until later

Artificial intelligence is not an “add-on” to this course; it is integrated into the learning process from day one. Through step-by-step hands-on tasks and activities, children will gain a genuine understanding of how AI works and how to apply it to real robotic systems.

3. A “priority admission ticket” to the CMU High School Program

This Science and Technology Innovation Camp is specifically designed as a preparatory program for the CMU Robotics Institute’s high school curriculum. Students who complete the Carnegie Mellon AI Robotics Summer School will gain a distinct advantage when entering the high school initiative: they are already proficient in Python-based robotics programming and have completed complex, self-driven projects. Each participant will also receive an internationally recognized certificate of completion, adding a strong credential to their resume.

If your child meets any of the following criteria, this camp is likely designed for them:

• Currently in grades 6 to 8 (approximately 12–14 years old).

• There is genuine curiosity about technology, engineering, science, or entrepreneurship.

• To develop leadership, teamwork, and creative problem-solving skills in a high-challenge, high-performance environment.

• Possess a solid foundation in mathematics and physics, or have experience in programming or robotics operation.

• The English level reaches CEFR European Framework Convention and Framework B1 or above (PET level and above), and can adapt to the all-English teaching environment

• We aim to obtain official CMRA certification to build a solid portfolio of credentials for further education or overseas applications.

No prior experience with robotic hardware is required; a basic understanding of programming is advantageous but not mandatory. Most importantly, the child must be willing to invest effort, attempt new approaches, and push beyond their own limits.

The entire course is designed around a central philosophy: by the end, every child will have built an intelligent system from scratch. Over ten days, participants cover mechanical design, programming logic, artificial intelligence, and business strategy in a comprehensive curriculum. Each day follows a closed-loop approach of “learning-practice-challenge-reflection,” consisting of core knowledge instruction → hands-on practice → challenging tasks → post-activity review, ensuring thorough knowledge retention.

Ten-Day Advanced Course Outline

Note: The course content is designed according to the standard framework of the Carnegie Mellon University School of Robotics. The daily schedule revolves around the “Learn-Practice-Compete-Think” approach, encompassing core knowledge lectures, hands-on practice sessions, challenge laboratories, competitions, and post-competition reviews.
