Abstract
There are many benefits to introducing students to the idea of doing projects where the outcome is unknown or unsure. Some have proposed that engaging students in research can help with retention of underrepresented groups. In this paper, we report on a particular approach we have used to introduce high school students to open-ended robotics projects in a three-week summer program. We describe the structure of our summer program, how we ramp the students up to speed, and we summarize the five open-ended "research" projects that the students work on. These projects can be adopted for open-ended work elsewhere by high school students or undergraduates.
