Organization Description

BadgerBots offers hands-on STEAM education for kids in Dane County and beyond. Our summer camps run at four sites in Middleton, Fitchburg, Madison and Sun Prairie. We also host School Day Off camps for grades K-6, giving families a fun learning option when school is closed. In addition, we provide STEAM workshops for schools, Girl Scout troops, homeschool groups and community events. Kids who want to go further can join one of our youth robotics teams in FIRST LEGO League, FIRST Tech Challenge or FIRST Robotics Competition. As the Program Delivery Organization in Wisconsin for FIRST, we run FIRST LEGO League tournaments across the state and support hundreds of teams and their coaches.
