About the Maker(s)

While teaching robotics at the Chabot Space and Science Center, Harvard University graduate Jutiki Gunter, was amazed by the excitement the children showed while building robots in his class. Realizing how few educational outlets existed for children to learn robotics, Jutiki conceived the idea of creating a space in which children could build robots, and expand their math and science skills. Robotics for Fun was established in 2004. The program provides a year-round learning environment for children in all aspects of robotics.
