Oakland's Robotics for Fun

Children will build a robot, learn the programming to make it work and complete several fun challenges along the way.

While teaching robotics at the Chabot Space and Science Center, Harvard University graduate Jutiki Gunter, was amazed by the excitement the children showed while building robots in his class.

Realizing how few educational outlets existed for children to learn robotics, Jutiki conceived the idea of creating a space in which children could build robots, and expand their math and science skills.

Robotics for Fun was established in 2004. The program provides a year-round learning environment for children in all aspects of robotics.

Since we first opened our doors, children come to class excited and ready to learn. Parents literally have to pull them away from their projects at the end of the day.

We believe that young children can learn at a college and professional level, if given the chance. At Robotics for Fun they have the chance!
