Story

#RetireJNFR!

In today’s technology-driven world, an interest in robotics and STEM is more important than ever. For years, our beloved robot team member, JNFR, has provided hands-on learning experiences and inspired a love of robotics and technology in thousands of children.

However, JNFR's systems are aging and she is now telling us she deserves a well-earned rest!

How you can help

Now, we need your help to ensure her legacy lives on! This campaign aims to raise £5,000 towards a new, upgraded, version of JNFR with state-of-the-art technology.

Your support will mean thousands more children can experience the magic of learning through technology. By funding JNFR’s replacement, you’ll be investing in the next generation of scientists, engineers, and innovators.

Please join us in giving JNFR the gift of retirement — because all good robots deserve a break!
