The End of an Era
After 10 years, Fun Bot Lab is moving out of its office space 716 N Barton St. in Arlington VA. This office space has been a camp location, headquarters, storage, and creative space. Fun Bot Lab has completely transitioned to a philanthropic organization donating legos to the most underserved kids on the planet.

Stories from Uganda
Kickstart 2023
Fun Bot Lab's Partnership with Play Well Africa & Kuyamba Ministries
In 2023, Fun Bot Lab initiated a partnership with Play Well Africa and Kuyamba Ministries. This collaboration involved shipping LEGO robotics from Arlington, VA, to Kampala, Uganda, with the aim of identifying a S.T.E.A.M. school to benefit from the resources and provide 21st-century skills education to underprivileged children.

Fun Bot Lab brings Legos to Uganda
The interplay between technology and education in rural Uganda is one of the fascinating stories to emerge from the last two decades. The growth of Lego robotics in Uganda is a clear example of the value of technology to the field of education - yet it has its challenges.
Fun Bot Lab has recently distributed Lego and LEGO robotics to children in Uganda to help build a kids’ robotics program in partnership with Kuyamba Ministries and its network of passionate volunteers who teach children how to use the technology.
This program has provided the children in Uganda with a fun and educational activity that would help them develop their skills and creativity as well as provide them with a positive experience where they enjoyed learning about robotics and building their robots.
