About Engineering For Kids - Edison, NJ in Edison, NJ
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.
