An opportunity is open to students this summer to explore artificial intelligence and self-driving robotics through a one-week immersive program hosted at Stony Brook University’s Center of Excellence in Wireless and Information Technology.
Sunrise Technology Inc., in partnership with CEWIT, is offering a premium High School Summer Program designed to introduce students to cutting-edge developments in AI and autonomous systems. The program will be held at CEWIT’s campus at 1500 Stony Brook Road.
Students will learn directly from Sunrise Technology engineers who have hands-on experience designing, testing, and implementing advanced systems. The lead instructor is Professor Dantong Yu, an experienced educator and researcher in machine learning.
Participants will work with a patent-pending RC car platform derived from a U.S. Department of Energy SBIR-funded research project. The curriculum moves from foundational AI concepts to real-world applications, allowing students to see how intelligent systems perceive their environment, make decisions, and act.
Two in-person sessions are scheduled for July 6–10 and July 20–24, 2026, running from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. each day. A virtual session is also planned. The program is offered as a day camp; housing and transportation are not provided.
Tuition is $1,500, with a $200 deposit that is fully refundable until April 1. Families who register and pay in full by April 1 can take advantage of an early-bird rate of $1,400, receiving a $100 discount and priority session selection. Organizers note that class sizes are small and demand is expected to be strong.
For high school students interested in artificial intelligence, robotics, and emerging technology, the program offers a chance to gain hands-on experience and learn from university-level experts close to home.
