Robot Inventors *NEW* - Robot Inventors Spring
Robot Inventors is an advanced version of our signature after-school class, for 1st – 5th graders. These classes are great for new builders, as well as those seeking a more open-ended robot-building experience. A new project will be introduced each week, as part of the overall theme. This is considered an inquiry-based class, with ample space for experimentation. Students may choose to stick with the week’s scripted project, or they can take their own path, taking a hand at turning their ideas into a reality.At the start of each class, children will be introduced to components and engineering concepts, and they’ll review all the parts in their individual RoboKits. Our amazing teachers will then guide the students through building their own super cool robots. Builders will build with their own hands, create with their own imaginations, and KEEP their own robots, forever! This program is run by Brooklyn Robot Foundry.

Robot Inventors *NEW* - Robot Inventors Spring
Robot Inventors is an advanced version of our signature after-school class, for 1st – 5th graders. These classes are great for new builders, as well as those seeking a more open-ended robot-building experience. A new project will be introduced each week, as part of the overall theme. This is considered an inquiry-based class, with ample space for experimentation. Students may choose to stick with the week’s scripted project, or they can take their own path, taking a hand at turning their ideas into a reality.At the start of each class, children will be introduced to components and engineering concepts, and they’ll review all the parts in their individual RoboKits. Our amazing teachers will then guide the students through building their own super cool robots. Builders will build with their own hands, create with their own imaginations, and KEEP their own robots, forever! This program is run by Brooklyn Robot Foundry.
