Classroom Experience

Did you know we offer virtual and in-person visits? For those local to Massachusetts, our volunteers can visit with robots to show your students. Outside our geographic area, we can offer a web call, and talk about what we do, what our robots do, and maybe even share a coding experience so you can see how robots know what to do.

Cool Stuff Museum Tour

Our Cool Stuff Museum highlights our 30 years of robotics history. Learn about the robots, the people who make them, and how you can start coding yourself! Your educational group can visit us in person, or we can set up a virtual tour for groups unable to travel to Bedford, MA. In addition, we offer twice monthly “Open Registration” virtual tours for anyone, even without an associated group.

College Panels

iRobot college alums often return for tech talks at their alma mater. Our signature "Permission to Fail" panel visits colleges with an honest, open discussion of the challenges of a STEM education. By sharing our stories, we hope students realize they are not the first to face obstacles and self-doubt along the way. For colleges local to us in Massachusetts, and allowing guests, we can visit in-person, otherwise we'll host an interactive discussion online.

Job Shadows

Normally we host students at iRobot for a Job Shadow and a peek behind the scenes. For now, we are offering a virtual job shadow! Hop on a web chat with a variety of employees to hear their career paths and the types of careers at a robotics or tech company.
