Workshops

Have you ever wanted to build your own self-driving car from scratch?
To design it, program it, and see how a vehicle “thinks” using Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, and Autonomous Systems?
Do you want to learn how AI models used by automotive engineers are actually trained?

Now’s your chance!

The Eugenides Foundation presents an innovative new program consisting of four independent cycles, each with five hands-on workshops packed with action, technology, and creativity.
Each cycle brings you closer to the dream: to build, program, and watch your own vehicle drive itself — just like a real autonomous car!

What you’ll do during the cycles:

• Design and assemble your robotic vehicle, learning the fundamentals of mechanics and electronics.
• Get hands-on experience with ESP32-CAM and understand how a camera-computer “sees.”
• Program movements and remotely control your car in real time via the internet.
• Use Label Studio and train AI models with YOLO to recognize traffic signs, lights, and pedestrians.
• Learn how to evaluate model accuracy and improve its “vision.”
• Work with the CoppeliaSim simulator, applying collision avoidance, distance estimation, and navigation techniques.
• Explore pathfinding algorithms (DFS, BFS, Dijkstra, A*) and discover how robots “think,” while building your own rule-based systems using Experta in Python.
• Test your system on real tracks and take part in demo competitions!

What you’ll gain:

• Hands-on experience with Python, OpenCV, TensorFlow/Keras, YOLO, ESP32-CAM, and CoppeliaSim.
• A solid understanding of core AI, machine learning, and autonomous navigation concepts.
• Development of creative, computational, and analytical thinking.
• Practice in teamwork, collaboration, and problem-solving.
• Familiarity with cutting-edge technologies used today in robotics and the automotive industry.

And the best part?
By completing all four cycles, you’ll earn a Certificate of Participation, proving your skills in one of the most exciting and in-demand fields of the future.

🚀 Don’t miss the chance to become a maker of tomorrow.
