SEED4STEM

The Seed4Stem project is an opportunity for the Blkrobot project to spread the use of educational technology in our community that will inspire children to delve deeper into robotics and coding. The Mekamon robot is the perfect gaming/educational toy! Mekamon was designed for augmented reality, gaming, coding and it was created by a Nigerian and entrepreneur. So it is a black robot and the depth of the apps that have been created for the robot and the creativity that is involved will inspire a child beyond the normal shelf life for a toy. The Blkrobot project is taking donations in exchange for these devices. Click below to fill out a form to give a donation and receive a mechamon for your child. It's a perfect gift to steer your child towards a positive use of technology.

Proceeds from this fundraising effort will allow the BlkRobot Project to hire staff and expand its programming in 2025!
