What to Expect

Foundry Fundays are the perfect solution to school holidays! Students will have an awesome time building the featured robot of the day as well as participating in all of the additional activities. We’ll be playing games, doing crafts, enjoying free play, and getting in many movement breaks! The sessions are all about having fun! No previous robot experience required.

Finding Classes:

All of our classes take place at partner locations – schools, after school programs, community centers, organizations, camps, businesses, etc.

Classes that are open for public registration will be listed on this site. Choose a location in the finder and click the orange “Find Classes” button to see what is available. If you don’t find something available in your area, or you’d like to arrange for classes at your school/organization, please reach out to us. We’d love to build with you!

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it okay if my child has never taken a class with you before?: Yes! We love meeting new students and we will be starting every new session with the basics, so no one will ever feel behind.
My child is very mature for their age, may I sign them up for a session that is above their age level?: Sorry, but we are strict with ages levels to ensure that children have a great experience during our classes. Please choose one of our other programs that corresponds with the child’s age.
My child was in your summer session and/or one of your other after school programs. Will the curriculum for this program be different?: Yes! We create new projects every semester with as few repeats as possible. We will occasionally bring back some of our “best of” or beginner projects to get new kids up to speed but after that, the robots will be new.
What is your cancellation policy?: See our cancellation policy.
Can I organize private classes for my child and their friends?: Yes, we offer private classes based on teacher availability. These classes normally have a minimum requirement of 4-6 children (or the equivalent cost). Please email our customer service team for more information.
