Electric From the Beginning
Jenny Young opened the first Brooklyn Robot Foundry in 2011 to give children an immersive, hands-on engineering experience. Her unique, fun-filled approach has been a proven success and the fun continues to build with robot-builders all over the country.

A solid franchise business requires two elements: a strong product and a great business model. We’ve got both!
Strong Product
-
Offering programs that families want and need.
Families spent over $23 billion on afterschool programs alone in the US in 2021 and that is expected to increase significantly each year, particularly for STEAM enrichment. Not to mention camps, parties, etc…
-
Launching tomorrow’s creative leaders.
Our projects emulate real world engineering better than other programs. By giving kids a hands-on experience that embraces trial-and-error, we’re allowing children to fail and giving them the tools for recovery.
-
It’s All About Human-Powered Learning. And fun!
Our programs are led by wonderful teachers. They foster connections, inspire, motivate, uplift, and lead their students. And they’re kinda goofy too, because being a kid should be fun. And actually, so should being an adult.
Great Business Model
-
All wrapped up and ready to hit the road!
Forget expensive real estate and meet your customers where they already are! This mobile business is ready to hit the ground running, from amazing multi-year curricula to individually packed class materials!
-
Uncomplicating the complex
Successful STEAM programs require a ton of knowledge, sourcing, and quality-assurance. We’ve already found the best materials and components (and vast storage space!). We’ve tested all of our projects repeatedly. We’ve figured it all out – so you don’t have to!
-
An inclusive, creative community.
We believe strongly in inclusion, diversity, acceptance, and respect. We support collaboration and empathy. We strive to reflect this in our staffing, our students, and any future franchises.

The Heavy Lifting is Done

-
Great Training Program
We’ve been doing this for over 10 years. We can show you how to make it work – from the robots to the business as a whole. We’ve made mistakes – so you don’t have to. Each robot is thoroughly planned and tested, so each class should go smoothly. And if it doesn’t – we’ll show you what to do!
-
Custom Registration System
We want to make it as quick and easy as possible to get families signed up for your classes. We’ve designed an awesome website and registration system that will do just that. And of course, we’ll train you on how to make the most of it!
