Build a Robot is the only provider of computer science, coding and robotics classes that is combined with social emotional learning to help kids (our future and current problem solvers & leaders) be human-centered through the development of skills in empathy, positive thinking, collaboration, creativity, perseverance and lifelong learning.
Partnered with RoboRobo, a company with more than 15 years in developing education robotics products and curricula. RoboRobo was looking to expand to the U.S. and chose us because of our educational programs.
Opened Build a Robot Learning Center in Superior, CO. We opened the center to develop a community for consistent computer science literacy education for all students and a pathway for accelerated students to excel. We decided to name the learning center Build a Robot to quickly convey the message of building together.
To continue to expand our reach and impact, we launched live online learning classes.
We reflected on our journey and are forging ahead with a hybrid (online +in-person, live + asynchronized online learning) model to serve our community. We continue to establish strong partnerships with organizations that align with our mission and practice- serve students from every quarter and incorporate social emotional learning with STEM skill building.
We are a group of educators, engineers, entrepreneurs, and parents who are passionate about our mission: creating and advocating for innovative human-centered education to inspire and develop empathetic problem solvers and leaders.
Build a Robot K12 works with schools, afterschool programs, libraries, hardware and curriculum providers, and other organizations to provide computer science education in robotics, coding, and design with an emphasis on social emotional learning. We often collaborate with our partners on events, workshops, and projects that engage and support student learning. Our common goal is always to provide opportunities for students to build 21st century skills like problem solving, creativity, & growth mindset and to become leaders with empathy.
We want to empower all kids to imagine, build and create solutions for a diverse, inclusive, thriving society.
Here are our Core Beliefs that Guide Our Culture
Community
That means we show up for each other, act with empathy, and bring our authentic selves to work every day. We’re growing this company for our community, each other and our mission.
Innovation
That means we don’t do something a certain way because “this is how we’ve always done it.” We are open-minded. We innovate, iterate, make mistakes, improve, repeat.
Integration
We’re whole people. That means we build a culture that supports our team members’ growth professionally and personally.
Fun
Our time on earth is finite. It is a privilege to be spending time together. While we can’t avoid struggles, we always remind ourselves that it is important to have fun along the way.
Agile
We move quickly and deliberately in pursuit of achieving sustainable, global growth and reach.
Success
We believe that achieving financial growth and making positive social impact are equally important. Without both we cannot expand our impact and build our vision for the world.
Impactful
We improve people’s lives. That means our goal is to have a positive impact on the lives of all we work with: our students, our employees, our stakeholders and our community.
Trust
We operate from a place of transparency and offer honest feedback, even when it is uncomfortable to do so. We do this because we trust one another’s intentions and want everyone to continuously learn and grow.
