The Brooklyn Robot Foundry is an after-school program for children ages 2-12 that teaches them about all things robots. Children learn to build (and take home) their own robot after each class.
– Parent, Whenever WorkshopsI was surprised that [my daughter] didn’t need any help. She did ask for me to tighten the last screw, but that was only because she wanted to move on faster and be able to play with it.
– Afterschool Director, Nigthingale Baumford SchoolRobot Builders program is excellent! The children were always thrilled to be taking home something that they had made with their own hands and reported that the classes themselves were always fun. Bring it to your school. You will thank me.
– Parent Coordinator, Elementary SchoolThe Robot Builders program is excellent! Bring it to your school. You will thank me.

– Parent, Whenever WorkshopsMy son liked decorating the most. I (mom) liked the introduction where it walked through what was in the kit (ex. Explaining the type of wood used, and how it was lightweight and therefore ideal.) It was a great class.
