Teens Build, Race Miniature Self-Driving Cars at MIT Summer Program

Students came to the MIT autonomous car class from across the country — 13 states and Puerto Rico. To be eligible, they had to take a self-paced online course during their spring semester to beef up their skills in areas like computer vision and Python programming, which they’d need for the fast-paced summer session. The best students got to attend the free program at MIT. Another 20 students participated in a similar class remotely.
