From the number of school partners we had, to the number of round motors used, to the number of robots built &#8211; it&#8217;s proof that we&#8217;ve provided a ton of building fun for students all over our territories!<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not always easy to measure the impact we&#8217;re having on our students and franchise owners. We know our programs have a huge impact on our students, but sometimes we&#8217;re not there to witness it. Growth, empowerment, knowledge, and creative thinking are just some of what we set out to accomplish. Not only are those intangible, but they also happen at different rates for everyone. The annual Impact Report allows us to review the accomplishments we <strong>can<\/strong> count. We have calculations from across many departments &#8211; Design Team, Production, Marketing, Franchise Development, and Teaching.<\/p>\n<p>These numbers also give us a window into the future, allowing us to gauge the long-term impact. Not just on our students, but also on our franchise owners, teachers, and staff. We&#8217;re all growing, learning from our failures, and figuring out the best way to bring our ideas to life.<\/p>\n<p>Click <a href=\"https:\/\/brooklynrobotfoundry-dev.cospark.io\/2025-impact-report\/\">HERE<\/a> for all of the fun facts!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s been another amazing year of growth at Brooklyn Robot Foundry &#8211; and we have the numbers to show it!
