8-day immersive for ages 9-18 at UC Berkeley: AI, product design, coding, fabrication & startup-style prototype pitching.
BlueRobins is launching Builder Jam Summer, a hands-on builder experience for kids ages 9-18 that brings together the best of MIT maker culture and UC Berkeley startup energy. The summer series includes Zero2Maker, a 1-day builder accelerator on June 6 and June 10 at UC Berkeley and June 13 at Maker Nexus in Sunnyvale, and Zero2Entrepreneur, an 8-day immersive from July 11-18 at UC Berkeley. Students work with AI tools, electronics, 3D printing, coding, fabrication, design thinking, and product development. They move from idea to prototype to showcase, building execution confidence, critical thinking, presentation ability, and social-emotional intelligence.

Agenda
Day 0: Orientation
Cohort, team formation, portfolio setup Students join the cohort, meet their teams, set up their builder portfolio, and understand the week ahead. Also attend mini workshops on 3D printing, Design Thinking, AI & coding.
Days 1–2: Maker
CAD, electronics, coding, fabrication Students explore how physical and digital systems work, then build, fabricate, improve, document, and present early prototypes.
Days 3–4: Innovator
Problem identification, empathy fieldwork, human-centered design Students identify users, define problems, conduct field research and empathy interviews where feasible, generate solutions, test assumptions, and develop stronger prototypes.
