" summary

A long-running informal program teaches kids mechanical design, electronics and programming with 3D printers, CAD/CAM and workshops started 17 years ago; middle-schoolers build robots that navigate mazes using off‑the‑shelf Lego robotic kits donated to an under‑resourced school. The group sponsors 10 kids to attend STEM events, partners with City Year to run after‑school robotics and trains staff, and alumni end up building working robots and traveling to competitions.
