The Gadgeteer Pledge

The Gadgeteer Pledge is our commitment to making robotics, electronics and hands-on STEM learning easier to access, understand and enjoy. Whether you are a parent buying a first robotics kit, a teacher sourcing classroom resources, or a maker working on your next build, we aim to provide products and support that help you keep learning with confidence.

“I am RG-5, companion of curiosity and invention. I pledge to stand with every school that dares to dream bigger. When a school adopts me, I carry their spirit — their colours, their name, their identity. With every small pledge made by friends, families, and supporters, I grow stronger and give back to the students who need me most. I pledge to inspire tinkering, building, and discovery. One robot. One school. One pledge at a time. Together, we invent the future.”

Three Pillars of the Pledge

  • Access to STEM

    Making robotics and hands-on technology education tangible and practical for underserved learners, because every child deserves the tools to build their future.

  • Future Builders

    Developing real-world skills in electronics, coding, and problem-solving to prepare young minds for tomorrow’s careers.

  • Curiosity & Creativity

    Encouraging experimentation and transforming ideas into working projects through discovery-based learning. Every child deserves to Invent, Tinker, and Discover.

How RG5 Brings The Pledge To Life

The Gadgeteer Pledge is the promise. RG5 is the guide who brings it to life.

  • Meet RG5

    RG5 is more than a mascot — he's the friendly guide who turns the pledge into a learning journey. The pledge says: we will support curious learners. RG5 says: Mission accepted.

  • Adopt RG5

    Adopt RG5 is the friendly front door into the learning journey — bringing the Inventor Kit, RG5 Portal and Gadgeteer Pledge together into one connected path.

  • The RG5 Portal

    The kit gives your child the parts. The RG5 Portal gives them the path — guided missions, lessons and progress to keep the journey going.
