What is the Finch Robot loan program and when can I apply?

BirdBrain Technologies' Finch Robot loan program loans 1200 Finch Robots to districts, schools, libraries, and other organizations across the United States. This free program is our effort to reach students who may not otherwise get the chance to program a robot during their normal school day. In the last 7 years we have reached over 200,000 students with our free robot loans!

We generally loan Finch Robots to an organization for 2 months. We expect the students to work using pair programming, so 2 students work together with each Finch Robot.

The application for the 2019-2020 school year is now closed. We are still accepting applications for summer of 2020.

With the release of the new Finch Robot 2, we will be phasing out the Finch Robot Loan Program as it exists now, loaning the original Finch Robot. We will be loaning the original Finches out for Fall 2020 and then starting a new program with the Finch Robot 2 in 2021.
