Lab
Zero.
Every great invention starts in a lab. So does Botnasium.
San Ramon is the founding Botnasium laboratory — where our curriculum, projects and Arena challenges begin, and where our first families help shape what Botnasium becomes.
Built in San Ramon. Designed to go much further.
Inside the lab
Concept zones · final layout in designWorkbench
Build stations with parts, tools and room for teams to spread out.
Code station
Laptops where robots get their instructions.
Test track
Try it, break it, fix it — before the clock starts.
The Arena
Challenge field, timer and scoreboard.
Founders Wall
Where the Founding 25 are recognised — permanently.
Serious about fun. Serious about safety.
Our launch standards are being built around these commitments. Specific policies, ratios and screening procedures will be published in our Parent Policies before enrollment opens.
Parent Policies (draft until launch) →- Instructor screeningEvery instructor will complete background screening before leading a session.
- Two-adult supervisionTwo adults present in the lab during every session.
- Safe equipment practicesAge-appropriate tools, clear lab rules, eye protection where needed and supervised use of powered equipment.
- Authorized pickupChildren released only to adults on your authorized pickup list.
- Parent communicationRegular updates on what your child built, learned and is working toward.
- Age-appropriate curriculumProjects designed for each age band — challenging, never overwhelming.
- Small classesSmall groups so every student gets hands-on time. Class sizes will be confirmed before launch.
What parents
will see.
Not just a grade. A record of what your child can actually do — projects completed, skills demonstrated, badges earned, Arena missions, instructor notes and progress toward the next level.
This is a design preview of a future parent view. It isn’t built yet — Founding Families will help shape it.
[Instructor notes appear here — what went well this week and what to try next.]
