About Us:
Founded by Laurie Gannon-Lotte, Rigatoni&Robots was a dream in the making for nearly two decades. As the premier science and culinary academy for kids ages 6-12, Rigatoni&Robots was created to bring a level of hands-on fun, energy, and excitement to field of study that schools traditionally tend to overlook or lack the time and resources to cover…all in a fun, surfing/skateboarding/snow
boarding-themed environment that make it nearly impossible not to have a great time! As the owner and Director of two of San Diego’s most successful day camps for children, Laurie has fulfilled her passion for bringing science and the culinary arts to a year-round facility. With a recent move to central California, the opening of the Southwest Bakersfield Rigatoni&Robots brings a kid-friendly way to have fun while learning to Kern County as well. Our Vision:
To inspire the scientists, engineers, and budding chefs of the future…one child at a time. Our Mission:
To positively impact children in our surrounding communities by providing unparalleled science, engineering, and culinary arts enrichment programs for elementary-age children, to enhance upon learning that is either under-funded or non-existent in school environments today, and to provide entrepreneurial opportunities to women by offering profitable, yet attainable and family-friendly, woman or family-owned franchise ownership opportunities.
