New Mount Rainier Robotics Center Empowers Young Engineers

A new camp in Mount Rainier is teaching elementary school-aged kids about robotics.

Located at 2112 Varnum St. NE, Brooklyn Robot Foundry offers everything from after-school classes to summer day camps to birthday parties to teach kids about the basics of electronics.

Owner Mike Chaney worked in IT program and project management for years before deciding to open the camp, which is one of 16 locations for the New York-based company.

Aimed at first through fifth graders, the camp features lots of outdoor time, breaks and snacks.

“Each day we cover a series of ‘rules’ related to social-emotional engagement, conduct a lesson on circuits, build a circuit, construct a robot, and then decorate it,” Chaney told the Hyattsville Wire. “Our campers take home their creation each day.”

Summer camp at Brooklyn Robot Foundry runs on Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., with optional extended care until 5:30 p.m. Day camps are also offered during the school year on select days when classes are out.

To book a camp, go to their website or call (202) 240-2421.
