How much does a LEGO MINDSTORMS Robotics Kit for Kids cost? You might guess 50 or maybe even 100 dollars.$399. That is the starting price of a LEGO robotics kit for kids, without accounting for the other materials they might need such as a laptop.
The Problem
Many children who live in lower-income households simply do not have the disposable income to purchase these robotics kits that could be the first step in developing their interest in STEM. Who knows how many children haven't found their passion for STEM yet simply because they lack the resources to even get started!
Our Solution
Equal Access Robotics plants to distribute LEGO Robotics kits and Self Made Robotics kits on a borrowing basis to low-income children in neighborhoods in and around Oakland, California (and hopefully to more places across the world soon).
