Collaboration

Community & Agency Partners

Expand access together—host, sponsor, or co-run programs.

We collaborate with schools, libraries, youth centers, nonprofits, faith communities, and workforce boards. Partners can host a class, sponsor scholarships, or co-run a showcase event.

Who the form is for

The inquiry form asks for an organization type because the academy already groups partners that way: government, nonprofit, school, library, corporate sponsor, faith community, or another type you name. Turtleback Robotics Academy is in Prince George and serves the Tri-Cities and Richmond metro. A partner does not need a campus of its own. The published class address remains 6815 Commons Dr, Prince George, VA 23875.

Families still enroll students through the Program Catalog and Parent Portal. A partner conversation is separate. Use this page when you want to host a class, sponsor participation, or co-run a showcase. Use the contact page when you are a parent asking about a seat.

Ways to work together

Host sites and in-school residencies mean a school, library, youth center, or similar location asks the academy to bring a robotics session to that place, or to use the Prince George lab as the host room. The site does not publish a residency calendar, a minimum group size, or a fee schedule for those visits. Put the timeline and the age range in the message so the reply can be specific.

Corporate and civic sponsorships are for a business, agency, or civic group that wants to fund access. Scholarship details are not listed on this page. Say whether you want to sponsor a student, a camp week, or a showcase, and the academy will tell you what is actually open.

Grant collaboration and reporting means the academy can talk with a partner that is writing or managing a grant. The page does not claim an active grant, a fiscal agent, or a reporting template. Describe the funder and the deadline in the message.

Volunteer mentor programs are for people or organizations that want adults in the lab under staff supervision. The about page already says labs are staff-supervised and that safety expectations are reviewed before equipment is used. Mentors do not replace that. Ask what a mentor is allowed to do before you recruit one.

Programs a partner should read first

After School Robotics is the weekday program for ages 6–12, with a one-hour membership, a six-hour VIP membership, workshops, and Full After-School from 4–7 PM on weekdays. Summer camp publishes three tracks: Lego builds for ages 6–12, homemade drones for ages 6–12 and 12+, and autonomous vehicles for ages 12+. Online Robotics Lab is the live remote course for ages 8–16. Teen Robotics & Competition Club is interest-based for ages 12+.

The about page also welcomes inquiries from Scouting America units, Girl Scout troops, schools, and other youth organizations for a group activity in robotics, coding, engineering, or 3D design. A troop leader can use the contact page for a single visit, or this partner form if the organization wants an ongoing relationship.

Phone is (804) 434-0470. Email on the public site is robotics@turtlebackrobotics.com. Published academy hours are Mon–Fri 4:00–7:00 PM; Sat and Sun closed. Those hours describe the lab, not a promise that a hosted visit uses the same clock.
