Nice to Meet You! Brooklyn Robot Foundry offers STEAM classes for children, and sometimes adults, all over the country. The goal of the Robot Foundry is to share the fun of STEAM learning with children everywhere and inspire them to continue a life full of exploration, problem-solving, and imagination. We do this by offering fun, creative and educational classes, parties, camps and field trips to children 2-14 years old. Our signature designs and building methods allow children to build on their own, resulting not only in a cool robot but also in increased confidence. (Children 2-5 years old are required to build with an adult, but do much of it on their own!) We encourage creativity and independent thinking from all of our builders. We provide the guidelines for each day’s robots, but the final design is up to the student. We offer a variety of programs, ranging in commitment from a single class to an entire semester.
