Brooklyn Robot Foundry — Science

We recently enrolled my 9-year-old in the Brooklyn Robot Foundry's Science program, and it was a solid experience overall. The instructor, Sam, was incredibly engaging and managed to keep a small group of kids focused on building their own robots. My child loved creating a robot that could move and even programmed it to perform simple tasks. The hands-on approach really sparked their interest in science. However, I did find the pickup process a bit chaotic with long lines, which was a bit stressful after a long day. Despite that, the staff's enthusiasm was clear, and my child came home excited every week. I appreciate that they limit group sizes, allowing for more personalized attention. Overall, I’d recommend this program for kids who enjoy getting creative with science, just be prepared for a bit of a wait when picking up.

My son, who is 9, attended the Brooklyn Robot Foundry's science program last month, and we had a solid experience. He really enjoyed building a simple circuit to light up an LED, which sparked his interest in how things work. The instructor, Sarah, was engaging and kept the kids focused, making sure everyone felt included in the activities. The small group size allowed for more hands-on attention, which I appreciated. However, the space was a bit crowded, especially during pickup time, which made it slightly chaotic as parents tried to gather their kids. Overall, if you're looking for a program that gets kids excited about science while fostering creativity, I'd recommend this one with the caveat that it could be less hectic during busy times.
