I created this innovation to break the cycle of poverty in Uganda’s rural underserved communities, where many children have never used a computer and struggle to find jobs in a digital-driven market. Robokids Africa is changing this by bringing STEM education to even the most remote areas.
My innovation empowers rural underserved communities in Uganda by providing STEM education, with a strong focus on computer skills, robotics, and coding—equipping children with the tools to shape their future.
Scaling has been challenging due to the high cost of computers and robotics kits, while the number of children in need is overwhelming. Despite this, we have expanded to six schools in Uganda and are committed to reaching even more—starting with the rural communities that need us most, with the goal of covering the entire country.
First, gain knowledge in computer programming, robotics, and coding. Then, research the communities that need these services most. Develop a curriculum tailored to the students you will be serving, and begin teaching according to that curriculum.
