Code robots in simulation and compete for a chance to run on the ISS with NASA & MIT
Learn to code the Astrobee robot, a free-flying robot used by astronauts on the ISS for research and maintenance tasks.
Learn more about AstrobeeRun your code in a simulator organized by MIT and NASA. The best teams may have their code executed on the real ISS.
Work with fellow students to solve challenging problems, develop coding skills, and build lasting friendships.
At the end of camp, teams compete in the Zero Robotics competition held by MIT and NASA. You'll test your code in a realistic simulator. Winning teams may have their code executed on Astrobees aboard the International Space Station.

I'm a 10th grader at Stratford Preparatory High School. My programming journey started through Scratch and expanded into robotics. I first learned about Zero Robotics in 3rd grade through my brother, and joined the Palo Alto Zero Robotics team in 2023. We proudly took 2nd place at the 2025 competition. I love teaching younger students and sharing my passion for robotics.
I'm a 10th grader at Stratford Preparatory High School. My programming journey started with small web apps and expanded into robotics. I was part of the Palo Alto Zero Robotics team last year and we proudly took 2nd place. I'm currently part of our school's varsity FRC team. I love teaching younger students and exploring new ways to build and innovate.
I'm a 9th grader at Henry M. Gunn High School. My programming journey started through introductory Python classes on AoPS and expanded into robotics. I first learned about Zero Robotics a few years ago through a family friend, and joined a team run by them. I am currently part of the FRC team Space Cookies. I love teaching younger students and hope that they will enjoy robotics as much as I do.
Applications are now open. No coding experience required.
