What We Do
We teach students and non-enrolled youth practical skills and provide resources from day one.They follow an education and career path that teaches them to be excellent students in the classroom, innovative problem-solvers in the real-world, experienced and knowledgeable employees, and exceptional technology entrepreneurs.
Our School-Based program provides access to training and resources at the
school level and includes:
a) Speaker Presentations, video presentations and study of real-world problems solved through robotics;
b) Hands-on Robotics training, which introduces students to the basics of
robotics;
c) Robotics Clubs, which meet weekly and have mentors coming in once or
twice a month.
Our Public Access Programs ( Fundi Spaces) allow us to reach students and non-students outside of the school environment allowing us to target vulnerable and un-enrolled youth.
These "Fundi Spaces" are also designed as maker-spaces where trainings, collaborations and product development sessions can take place.
