About this Event

BlueRobins is launching Builder Jam Summer, a hands-on builder experience for kids ages 9-18 that brings together the best of MIT maker culture and UC Berkeley startup energy. The summer series includes Zero2Maker, a 1-day builder accelerator on June 6 and June 10 at UC Berkeley and June 13 at Maker Nexus in Sunnyvale, and Zero2Entrepreneur, an 8-day immersive from July 11-18 at UC Berkeley. Students work with AI tools, electronics, 3D printing, coding, fabrication, design thinking, and product development. They move from idea to prototype to showcase, building execution confidence, critical thinking, presentation ability, and social-emotional intelligence.
