The Institute for Human and Machine Cognition (IHMC), a research institute in downtown Pensacola, runs a week-long Summer Robotics Camp for students entering roughly grades 8-10. Campers program LEGO Mindstorms robots, meet STEM professionals, and hear researchers explain their work during daily 'Lunch With a Scientist' sessions; no prior experience is required.

★★★★★Greg RosoffAn impressive facility open to the public for "Science Saturdays", evening lectures, and robotics summer camps for kids!
★★★★★Jay MasseyIHMC is a shining star in downtown Pensacola. It's a non-profit research institute that is pioneering technologies to extend human capabilities. If you get a chance to visit during an open house or one of their public evening lecture series, I highly recommend that you attend.
★★★★★Marcus FranklinAwesome facility! They are doing amazing work with robots and exo-skeletons to help disabled individuals. I didn't realize this kind of work was being done here in Pensacola. Keep an eye on their website for open houses.
★★★★★Tracy JacksonOne of the many reasons to move to Pensacola!!! This place is awesome, the work that is being done here is groundbreaking and exciting. I was fortunate enough to attend their open house and got to be up close to the robots. If you ever get the chance to attend a lecture of Dr. Kenneth Ford - DO IT! So glad they provide a great place to work in Pensacola.
