Built to Travel

These robots are always on the move

We are a mobile business, which means our programs have been designed to push into schools, camps, after-school centers, homes, businesses – anywhere there’s room to build!

Hands-on Fun

We're going to have fun - after all, we’re making robots! Low student-to-teacher ratios accommodate individualized instruction and creative freedom. The hardest part is having to say goodbye!
Building Confidence and Creative Thinking

By giving children the opportunity for trial-and-error, we’re empowering them to discover their creative and problem-solving potential.
Feel-Good Programming

Children will be gaining valuable STEAM knowledge and problem-solving skills, without screens. Our programs are built to travel to schools, camps, centers - wherever there's room to build!

– Parent, Robot Builders
Great summer! To others considering: don’t hesitate, this is what kids want to be doing.

My daughter had an amazing time building and learning this summer with the BK Robot Foundry. She was so proud of herself and her work and couldn’t wait to show me everything she did.

– Parent, Summer Circuits
I 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.

– Parent, Whenever Workshops
My 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.

– Parent, Whenever Workshops
I thought the video was great, the project is cute and fun, and the materials were totally age appropriate. We had a lot of fun.

– Parent, Whenever Workshops
We love this program and our teacher more than we can say! The curriculum and the projects are awesome.

– Parent, Robot Builders
My son said he wanted to build robots EVERYDAY after his first class.

– Parent, Mini Makers
You guys have been SUPERIOR to any of our other after school programs. The word should be out that you are giving the kids an outlet to build their independence and confidence.

– Parent, Robot Inventors
Your program has been the most successful at being thoughtful, creative, and pivoting to keep the kids learning and enjoying.

– Parent, Robot Builders
You guys have totally saved us this summer. What a perfect virtual camp!

– Parent, Summer Circuits online
My child has been attending since he was 4 and he would live there if he could! Thanks for all you guys do.

– Parent, Robot Inventors
When we picked [our son] up, he greeted us beaming and said, “That was the best! I am going back there tomorrow and the next day and the next day and the next day.”
