# BlueRobins > BlueRobins pairs students ages 8-19 with vetted university and industry mentors to build real, certified passion projects - turning curiosity into portfolios, college clarity, and career pathways. A UC Berkeley SkyDeck Pad-13 company. BlueRobins is a mentor-led builder education platform for students in Grades 3-12. Every project is 1:1 or small-group mentored by students and alumni from MIT, Stanford, Harvard, UC Berkeley, CMU, Columbia, and other top universities, plus engineers and researchers from leading companies. Completed projects are Verix Certified - a tamper-proof, verifiable credential students can share on LinkedIn, college apps, and resumes. ## What makes BlueRobins different - Question-first pedagogy: students start from their own curiosity, not from tools or syllabi. - Mentored 1:1 by top-university students and industry practitioners. - Real, shippable projects across AI, health, finance, apps, design, hardware, robotics, and social impact. - Verix Certified credentials on every completed project. - A multi-year portfolio and pathway, not a one-off course. - Designed for the full K-12 range: Sparkers (Grades 3-5), Explorers (Grades 6-8), Launchers (Grades 9-12). ## Audience - Students ages 8-19 (Grades 3-12) who want to build something real. - Parents looking for substantive, mentor-led enrichment beyond generic online classes. - Schools, NGOs, and partners running youth innovation, AI, and impact programs. ## Pages - [Home](https://www.bluerobins.com/): Mentor-led builder education for Grades 3-12. - [About](https://www.bluerobins.com/about): Mission, founders, and the BlueRobins story. - [Projects](https://www.bluerobins.com/projects): Catalog of mentored, Verix-certified passion projects across AI, health, finance, apps, design, hardware, and social impact. - [Mentors](https://www.bluerobins.com/mentors): Vetted mentors from top universities and companies. - [Pricing](https://www.bluerobins.com/pricing): Plans, sibling discounts, and what's included ($399/month base; 20% sibling discount). - [Events](https://www.bluerobins.com/events): Workshops, summits, and live sessions. - [Spotlight (Blog)](https://www.bluerobins.com/blog): Insights on education, mentorship, and student success. - [Showcase (Community)](https://www.bluerobins.com/community): Student stories and work from the community. - [Careers](https://www.bluerobins.com/careers): Open roles, including Innovation Mentors. - [Contact](https://www.bluerobins.com/contact): Get in touch. ## Topic landing pages (high-intent) - [AI Projects for Students](https://www.bluerobins.com/ai-projects-for-students) - [Robotics Projects for Kids](https://www.bluerobins.com/robotics-projects-for-kids) - [Biotech Projects for High School Students](https://www.bluerobins.com/biotech-projects-for-high-school-students) - [Machine Learning Projects for Teens](https://www.bluerobins.com/machine-learning-projects-for-teens) - [Climate Tech Projects for Students](https://www.bluerobins.com/climate-tech-projects-for-students) - [Student Research Projects](https://www.bluerobins.com/student-research-projects) - [Mentor-Led Projects for Students](https://www.bluerobins.com/mentor-led-projects-for-students) - [Portfolio Projects for College Applications](https://www.bluerobins.com/portfolio-projects-for-college-applications) - [AI and Robotics Programs for Kids](https://www.bluerobins.com/ai-and-robotics-programs-for-kids) - [Project-Based Learning for Teens](https://www.bluerobins.com/project-based-learning-for-teens) - [25 Frontier Sectors](https://www.bluerobins.com/sectors): Sector-by-sector breakdown of what students build. ## Programs - [Wisdom Lab](https://www.bluerobins.com/wisdom-lab): Cinematic life-skills curriculum in collaboration with Project FUEL - five themes, six skills. - [Builder Jam (RobinLabs)](https://www.bluerobins.com/robinlabs): Hands-on builder sessions and sprints. - [Parent Pods](https://www.bluerobins.com/parent-pods): Small-group cohorts for parents and students. - [Youth Impact Maker](https://www.bluerobins.com/youth-impact-maker): 17-week service program partnered with vetted NGOs. - [Special Programs](https://www.bluerobins.com/special-programs): Seasonal and themed offerings. ## Learning pathways - Sparkers - Grades 3-5: curiosity-first introductions to building and thinking. - Explorers - Grades 6-8: deeper mentored projects across multiple domains. - Launchers - Grades 9-12: portfolio-grade, certified passion projects aimed at college and career pathways. ## Project domains AI and data science, health and bioscience, finance and economics, apps and web, design and creative tech, hardware and IoT, robotics, social impact, and research.
