Kids Robotic Foundation (KRF) is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization committed to ensuring that every learner, regardless of background or financial means, has access to world-class STEM education. Through our Robotics, A.I. and Research (RAIR) programs, we bridge the technology gap in the disciplines of space, air, land and sea for K–12 youth and adults—from beginner all the way to competitive and pre-professional levels.

Through robotics, AI, underwater engineering, drone technology, biomedical innovation, space science, research and advanced fabrication skills, we empower learners to imagine, innovate and lead. Each year, KRF serves students from Title I–IV schools, homeschool groups and under-resourced communities, providing hands-on programs that build confidence, problem-solving skills and college or career readiness.

This Giving Tuesday, your support directly fuels the following programs:

Johnson League 

Supporting 300 students and adults
Your gift provides robot kits, engineering tools, event operations, competition fields, and sponsorships for Title I–IV schools participating in the FIRST Tech Challenge Johnson League. This includes support for judges, volunteers, and youth ages 12–18. Our league currently serves 11 teams, and with your contribution, we aim to expand to 24 teams by the 2026–27 season.

FTC DECODE Season – Johnson League Championship: January 17, 2026
This championship is the culmination of three league meets taking place in November 2025, December 2025, and early January 2026.

ASGSR 2025 Research Teams 

Supporting 3 high school research teams
Your donation covers prototyping materials, sensors, experimental setups, scientific poster development and student travel to Arizona for the American Society for Gravitational and Space Research (ASGSR) Conference, December 4 to 7, 2025, where students will present their original research on a global stage.

 

SEEC 2026 – “NeuroHand: Biotech in Space” 

Supporting 27 adult educators worldwide
At the Space Exploration Educators Conference, February 4 to 7, 2026, KRF will deliver a bilingual workshop and equip 27 educators—from a pool of more than 3,000 in-person and virtual attendees—with biotech prosthetic hand and gesture-glove kits valued at 1,100 dollars each, along with training and curriculum.

Your support places cutting-edge biotech tools and space-connected STEM education directly into classrooms across the world.

Immersive Robotics Camp – March 2026 

Sponsoring 120 K–12 students out of 200 total seats
This flagship camp combines advanced robotics with immersive technology while conducting memory-retention research in both youth and adults.

Your donation provides full and partial scholarships, robotics kits, VR or AR tools, equipment and research materials to ensure equitable access for underserved learners.

BAARI and Workforce Pathways (Agriculture and CNC)

Your support also helps grow our BAARI program, where students explore robotics and automation for agriculture and sustainable food systems during summer, and supports the launch of CNC and advanced fabrication pathways that prepare both teens and adults for real industry opportunities. These programs connect classroom learning to real challenges in energy, food, manufacturing and space-related industries.

100 percent of Your Donation Goes Directly to Programs

Every dollar supports the students, educators and communities we serve,
not administration, not overhead, but direct impact in classrooms, labs, camps and competitions.

Your Gift Builds Their Tomorrow

When you give, you help:

  • Sponsor robotics teams for Title I–IV schools
  • Fund student research at ASGSR
  • Equip global educators with biotech prosthetics through SEEC 2026
  • Provide immersive STEM camp scholarships for underserved K–12 youth
  • Expand workforce-ready programs in CNC machining, fabrication, agriculture tech and AI
  • Deliver STEM opportunities to those who need them most

If you have ever wished that a child who loves to tinker could find their place, or that a teacher could bring real-world technology into a classroom with limited resources, this is your moment to make that possible.
Your generosity turns curiosity into confidence, and potential into a pathway.

Stay Connected and Help Spread the Word

Follow our journey, share our impact and help us reach more families and supporters:

FTC Storm Masters, our Kids Robotic Foundation FTC team, continues to inspire the community through leadership, service projects, mentoring younger students and showcasing the spirit of giving back — values we prioritize in every student we train.

Your engagement helps amplify their work and our mission.

Thank You for Believing in This Mission

Because of your support:

  • A child discovers robotics for the first time
  • A high school student presents research at a national conference
  • An educator brings a biotech prosthetic kit back to their classroom
  • An underserved student attends the immersive March camp and experiences the best of today’s technology
  • An adult learner gains skills that open doors to new careers

Together, we are transforming lives through robotics, AI and STEM education.
