Robots. Creativity. Confidence. Right here in Manhattan.
Hi! I’m Janine Harper, the owner of Brooklyn Robot Foundry Manhattan East. I bring hands-on STEM experiences to kids (and grown-ups) through robot-building programs that feel like play, but quietly build big skills: problem-solving, collaboration, and “I can do this” confidence.
Whether you’re looking for a school holiday activity, a summer camp, an after-school program, or an unforgettable robot party, you’re in the right place.
What We Offer
Foundry Fundays (School Holiday Drop-Off Events)
Need something awesome for a day off from school? Foundry Fundays are single-day robot-building events designed for big fun and brain-boosting creativity.
Summer Circuits (Weeklong Summer Camps)
Our summer camps in June, July and August are packed with building, tinkering, and big “wow” moments. Kids leave proud, messy-in-the-best-way, and ready to build again.
Robot Parties (We Bring the Robots!)
You host, we roll in with the robot-building magic. Perfect for birthdays and celebrations in Manhattan East and beyond. Expect excited kids, real building, and zero boring minutes.
In-School & After-School Enrichment
We partner with schools for:
-
Field trips
-
Weekly classroom programs
-
After-school robot building classes
A great fit for schools seeking STEM enrichment that kids actually beg to attend.
Mini Makers (For Our Littlest Builders + Grown-Ups)
Designed for younger children with their adults, Mini Makers is a playful introduction to building, experimenting, and creating together.
Scouts & Youth Groups (Badge Programs Available)
Troops and youth groups can earn badges while building robots and working as a team. Structured, fun, and very high on the achievement factor.
Assemblies & Special Events (STEM Days, Maker Events, More)
Planning a STEM Day or school-wide event? Let’s make it hands-on, high-energy, and unforgettable.
Corporate Team Building + Adult Events
Adults can absolutely build robots. These events are fantastic for team bonding, laughter, and friendly competition.
