About Us
At Robots & friends, we believe that science should not be exclusive to a select few, but rather a field to explore and enjoy by people of all ages, backgrounds, and interests.
Our biggest commitment lies in breaking down the barriers that have historically prevented many individuals from accessing STEAM education. We provide a wide range of resources and tools designed to engage and inspire people from all walks of life, including hands-on in-person (and virtual) classes, interest-based and child-led experiments as well as a story-based curriculum for tech adventures online and offline that encourage you to interact with your environments on a deeper level of understanding.
We`re dedicated to fostering a supportive and collaborative environment where everyone can explore with an interdisciplinary approach and learn at their own pace.
There`s a place in STEAM for everyone. You too - promise.

Founder
Meet our inspiring educator, MoorLyn, a true pioneer woman with a passion for combining creativity and innovation in STEAM education. With a background in Circus Arts and Set Design, Moor has always had a knack for breaking traditional molds, thinking outside the box, and exploring uncharted territories.
Growing up in an environment that encouraged ingenuity and hands-on exploration, she developed an early fascination with how things work and how they can be built. Through trial and error, she taught herself the fundamentals of engineering and technology, paving the way for a successful career as a self-taught expert in the field. Hard work along with her natural leadership qualities and the ability to think on her feet led MoorLyn to guide world championship teams in robotics competitions.
Through her unique journey and experiences, she has developed a teaching style that encourages curiosity, experimentation, and a healthy dose of playfulness. Her dedication to making STEAM accessible and fun for all has inspired countless young minds to pursue their own dreams and achieve their goals with excitement.
Join us in learning from MoorLyn, a true innovator and advocate for STEAM education of today and for tomorrow.
