Mission Statement

Our mission is two-fold: first, to provide a fun and exciting Intergalactic Mobile- themed experience that creates beautiful memories that can last a lifetime for children and adults who are battling cancer, have serious illnesses, special needs, challenges, are underprivileged, and have financial disadvantages. Second is the emphasis on education; we are working with our amazing volunteers and currently designing our new Interactive Astromechs Robotic Teaching System (I-ARTS) to benefit these individuals.

Description

Program areas:

  • Themed Entertainment: TSJ Foundation takes its fleets (vehicles) and props (robots) along with its volunteers, to entertain children with illnesses and special needs. Also, our volunteers give out toys to all the children.
  • I-ARTS PROGRAM: TSJ Foundation’s steam I-ARTS Program is considered one of the unique non-traditional robotic art programs, which will be used at schools and hospitals to teach the children about the different subjects such as science, technology, engineering, arts, and math. We are halfway through finishing our prototype, which will be completed by the end of 2020. The prototype will be launched for the first time at a Loudoun County school or hospital for trial.
  • 3-D Printing: TSJ Foundation’s 3D Printing program is dedicated to printing props for entertainment events (i.e., toys), steam I-ARTS robotic programs, and props/accessories. The TSJ Foundation’s volunteers lead the 3D printing program; please contact us to become one of our volunteers.
  • Dulles Landing Cars & Coffee Benefit: A car show that is hosted 2-3 times a year that raise funds for our foundation and another partnering foundation.
