At Gadgetfactory, children design, build and test real engineering projects — robots, bridges, circuits and more — guided by mentors who make learning feel like play.
Our programs
Every program is hands-on from minute one, grouped by age and led by a trained STEM mentor.
First steps into how things work
Big blocks, simple machines and playful challenges. Little engineers stack, snap, roll and ramp their way to understanding levers, wheels and balance — no screens, all hands.
Robots, gears and first code
Kids assemble real wheeled robots, wire up motors and sensors, then bring them to life with friendly block-based coding. Every class ends with a challenge bots must solve.
Real design, real problem solving
Older students take on genuine engineering briefs — bridges that hold weight, cranes that lift, circuits that sense. They sketch, prototype, test and iterate like a real design team.
Age groups
Motor skills, cause & effect, and the joy of building through guided play.
Simple machines, structures and teamwork on week-long build projects.
Robotics, sensors and block coding wrapped in friendly competitions.
Engineering design briefs, Arduino electronics and portfolio projects.
Curriculum
Every class follows the engineering design process — the same loop professionals use — scaled to small hands and big imaginations.
Every project starts with a real question: how strong can a paper bridge be? How does a robot see a line?
Kids brainstorm wild ideas out loud — no wrong answers, just possibilities sketched on whiteboards.
Teams pick a direction, draw their design and divide up the parts, learning to commit to a plan.
Hands on tools, kits and materials. Mentors coach technique but never take over the build.
Weight tests, race tracks and obstacle courses. Failing here is the fun part — data, not defeat.
Back to the bench to iterate. Kids learn that engineers never stop at version one.
