UCSB is an internationally renowned center for teaching and research.The breathtaking campus is located 100 miles north of Los Angeles,on a peninsula bordered by the Pacific Ocean and the Channel Islandsto the south, and the Santa Ynez Mountains to the north. Where themountains meet the sea is a perfect location for a summer of learningand exploration.

UC Santa BarbaraUCSB is home to over 20,000 undergraduate and 3,000 graduate students.The oceanfront campus has a stunning physical environment and world-classresearch facilities, creating a unique learning environment for students. UCSB offersa wide array of undergraduate majors and graduate programs through three collegesand two schools: Letters and Science, Engineering, Creative Studies, Gervitz GraduateSchool of Education, and Bren School of Environmental Science & Management.U.S. News and World Report ranked UCSB number 8 in its annual listing of TopPublic National Universities.

Living and Learning TogetherSummer Discovery students live together in one residence hall. This enablesstudents and staff to develop a close-knit community which provides immeasurablesocial, educational, and safety benefits.

Santa Cruz Residence HallLive in a UCSB residence hall overlooking the beautiful Pacific Ocean. Rooms aredoubles with study desks, bookcases, drawers, closets, and high-speed internet.

Food For ThoughtStudents eat in the De La Guerra Dining Commons. They receive 3 meals aday (1-2 meals a day on weekends) while on campus. Included are low-fat andvegetarian selections, hot breakfast, salad bar, pizza oven, fresh fruit, unlimitedbeverages, and desserts.

Do you have what it takes to compete? In thisinnovative institute, your teamwork and skills will be challenged and tested as you design and build robots and catapults. This hands-on institute is based upon existing electromechanicalcompetitions and can adjust to a variety of skilllevels. Through the following two courses, learnto solve electromechanical problems, developskills in brainstorming, concept selection,spatial reasoning, teamwork, communication,manufacturing processes, and reverseengineering.

Robotics: Autonomous Robots CompetitionWork in teams to build and program moving robots tocompete in an autonomous sumo wrestling match.

ENGINEERING AND RING AND ROBOBOOTTICICS INSS INSTTIITTUUTTEE4 week program

Develop skills in:• Brainstorming Identify what your robot needs to

be the best• Teamwork and Communication Working in

groups of various skill levels, students shareknowledge and experiences, and play a rolein the development and programming of theteam robot

• Problem Solving and Concept DevelopmentProgram the motions needed to outmaneuver theother robots

• Creativity Resolve programming problems on the fly

Mechanism Design and Build ChallengeWork in teams with limited materials to experience allphases of the product development cycle by designing,building, revising, and testing a catapult prototype.

In this course, students will:• Work as a team to overcome design and

implementation challenges• Learn engineering concepts and expand

knowledge of material properties• Build confidence in their abilities to handle

complex projects as they plan and createa practical project from initial design tofinal catapult

The courses that make up this institute can be takenindividually with another 4 week enrichment course.

The Science & Engineering Research Academy(SERA) introduces qualified high school students toresearch in STEM-related fields. Students developacademic and professional skills by presentingtheir research findings in a capstone seminar,networking with peers, and experiencing universitylife in a fun and challenging environment.

SERA students participate in hands-on labs thatdemonstrate concepts and reinforce principleslearned in lecture. The focus then shifts to groupdiscussions to allow students to develop a researchquestion, investigate findings, and present results.

By choosing one of the following researchtracks, students will earn 4 credits:

Track 1: Living in Color – An Introduction tothe Interactions of Light and Matter Learn howto form colors using both light and pigments, andwhy they don’t mix in quite the same way. In the

lab, explore how chemical structure determineswhat energies of light are absorbed or emitted,and build a library of color-changing pigments.The course covers how modern technologyharnesses these interactions of light and matter:how solar panels collect electricity and howcomputer screens reverse the process to createlight. Finally, find out how humans perceive andinterpret color. This course is perfect for studentsinterested in Chemistry, Physics, Biology, andCognitive Sciences.

Track 2: Data-Driven Research – CreativeProblem Solving with Python Learn howmachine learning and data analytics can be usedas a powerful tool to gain information from largedatasets. This course requires no prior experiencewith computer science, giving new and experiencedprogrammers the skills to use Python to answerresearch questions. Learn how to extract data from
