Programs
Welcome to Kids Robotic Foundation
Kids Robotic Foundation fosters greater understanding of robotics' role in developing solutions to real world challenges impacting humanity. The Foundation encourages deep exploration of STEM and STEAM subjects through seminars, exhibitions, and competitions open to all segments of the community.
Each program has exposure of at least 30K+ people who will know about that work. The full season is built for 40K+ people who will know.
Johnson League, research, SEEC, the HMNS festival, drones, underwater robotics, and summer immersive are programs as well as events. They are listed below, with full pages under Events.

Age pathways
Elementary through college
Four pathways that grow with learners. Course-level details will expand as we refresh program content beyond the older website.
Elementary school
Elementary
Curiosity-first builds, early coding habits, and play-based robotics that make STEM feel welcoming from the start.
Middle school
Middle School
Stronger builds, teamwork, sensors, and competition-ready thinking as learners grow into real project cycles.
High school
High School
Advanced robotics, research programs, mentoring, and competition pathways that prepare students for college and industry.
College
College
Higher-ed collaboration, research continuity, mentoring younger teams, and workforce-facing STEM experiences.

Educational projects
STEM Robotics for All
Our mission is to teach STEM robotics to every child in schools, community centers, libraries, daycares, and more. Every child should get the chance to imagine, build, program, and learn from technology that is often limited to private school settings. Funding is always tight, but we keep spreading STEM robotics awareness across our community. Kids Robotic Academy donates $15,000 to $45,000 every year to community projects.
Future projects
Robotics facility expansion
A fully equipped robotics and computer facility is already operating successfully on Bellaire Blvd in Houston, TX. We are working to open at least three more sites across Houston.
Help fund the next siteServices
What we bring to community locations
