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!

In 2013, Jennifer Romanoff, Ed.M., had a lightbulb moment when she and her husband were playfully discussing the idea of leaving his job to play with magnetic tiles instead. This sparked the idea for Genius Gems, an innovative space for children to learn through play. Each visit to our facility brings something new and exciting, with our hands-on, creativity-based activities designed to foster critical thinking and collaboration with peers. Our curriculum is based on the 4 P's - projects, passion, peers, and play - and was developed by an experienced educator. We are inspired by the work of MIT Media Lab Professor Mitchell Resnick, who argues that the world needs more designers, thinkers, and innovators. At Genius Gems, we strive to foster these skills in our young patrons, so that they may be prepared to meet the challenges of the future.
