Why Janky Robots?
We like what Reddit co-founder and entrepreneur Alexis Ohanian has to say about this: “The first version of everything is janky. Don’t fear jankiness as long as you’re solving a problem.” Our programs help the inventors and problem solvers of tomorrow understand that jankiness is a good thing because it means their ideas are becoming real.
Who came up with the idea for Janky Robots?
That would be me! My name is Will Sanford, and I love helping people get started with robotics and creative tech making. I’ve been a middle school robotics coach for 10 years and a tinkerer and DIYer for as long as I can remember.
Does my child get to take their robot(s) home?
Typically the cost of our workshops, school-based clubs, and camps includes only the robot-building experience. Depending upon availability, the electronics, motors, and other components used may be available for purchase at the conclusion of the experience. We will also provide a parts list for those who wish to source everything themselves.
What if my question isn’t answered here?
