About the Foundation

Dedicated to a vision of education that empowers and inspires

Started by alumni of Bob’s programs, we are on a mission to continue Bob’s legacy of providing hands-on learning experiences that ignite curiosity and foster confidence in real-world problem-solving.

Mind Motors: Our flagship program

Mind Motors is an exciting new initiative by the Bob Franz Foundation, aimed at sparking interest in science and engineering among young students. We are launching our program with engaging, hands-on activities.

Our goal is to bring Mind Motors to schools across the community, offering students a unique opportunity to learn through practical experience. We invite parents who discover our foundation to connect with their children’s schools and district administrators, helping us expand the reach of this inspiring program.

Together, we can nurture a new generation of young innovators and encourage a lifelong love for learning and discovery.
