Little Robot Friends
LRF was started in 2016 with the goal to support our community with an interest in coding and electronics. We still feel that technical literacy is a critical skill that helps our kids navigate the largely digital world they are growing up in. Our programs have since expanded to include 3D design and printing, game design, costume creation, and more - but there are other much-needed areas for growth: teamwork, community, AI literacy, and the ability to set big goals and plan how to achieve them.
This Fall we are launching our Innovators program, where youth aged 8 and up work together to achieve a big project. Students meet weekly to plan and bring their ideas to life. Our Early Innovators program (ages 6-8) begins to foster that interest.
