In the thriving heartland of the United States, nestled snugly between New York and Pennsylvania, lies the enchanting state of New Jersey. A magical place where the corn dogs grow on trees, where the ocean whispers stories of pirates, and trout have their very own hip-hop dance contests. I'm teasing, of course, but New Jersey is an exciting place where the ordinary meets the extraordinary. Now, let me introduce you to the magnificent, marvellous, and mysterious New Jersey Robo-Kids. These inventive whiz kids are the wizards of the wrench, the sorcerers of the soldering iron, and the magicians of the microchip. Meet their ringleader, Bolt Brain Billy. Legend has it that Billy was born during a lightning storm, and the first words he spoke were "circuit board." Billy can build robots faster than a hydro-powered hummingbird, and his robots are as cool as an astronaut’s boots. He even once built a robot to do his homework, but the robot was too smart and ran away to start its own software company. He's been trying to get it to come back for tutoring ever since! Billy, along with his brigade of bot-builders, wield their tools with precision and purpose, turning nuts and bolts into artificial allies. They are the knights in shining armor in the land of technology, always eager to solve problems, battling malfunctioning robots, and saving the day. Their robots can do everything from making a perfect sandwich to rescuing kittens from towering trees. The children of New Jersey, especially those who find joy in the world of robotics, are the living embodiment of imagination unchained, of creativity unfettered. So step right up, future inventors, and join the extraordinary tale of the New Jersey Robo-Kids. Whether you're in Trenton or Teterboro, your robotic adventure awaits!

The US Engineering League is a prominent nationwide establishment that passionately supports STEM-focused education. We believe in the power of experiential learning and thus emphasize hands-on learning through competitive challenges. Since our inception in 2018, we have been the proud USA National Office for the acclaimed World Robot Olympiad, a global robotics competition that has over 35,000 participants from more than 80 countries. In addition to robotics, our educational offerings span across various STEM sectors such as coding, eSports, engineering, science and more. We're delighted to be connected with several of the most prominent STEM competition organizations. Our primary learning center is nestled in the heart of Naperville, IL. However, we understand the importance of accessibility and have therefore expanded our reach. We offer our well-rounded programs at a range of locations including schools, community centers, park districts, libraries, and even religious institutions. We are committed to making our educational opportunities available to as many children as possible, regardless of their location. At the US Engineering League, we're not just about teaching; we're about inspiring. We take immense pride in our ability to inspire the younger generation to master the skills that are vital for long-term success in STEM-based careers. We strongly believe that nurturing these skills from a young age can set the foundation for a successful and rewarding career in the rapidly evolving STEM fields.
We are devoted to the cause of providing quality education to young kids and will continue to do so with the philosophy of Og Mandino, “Always do your best. What you plant now, you will harvest later.”
Dori Roberts is an experienced educator of 11 years, with a strong background in technology and math. As a teacher and mother, Roberts has first-hand experience of the need for engineering, science, and math programs in schools. This inspired her to create an after-school club, which gathered 180 students and achieved multiple state championships. Encouraged by the success of the program, Roberts began adapting her program for a broader age demographic. She started the first Engineering For Kids programs at a local elementary school, where it was received with great enthusiasm. This ultimately led her to leave teaching and focus her time and energy on developing Engineering For Kids.
