This year’s theme – “Future Forward: Robots Reimagining Africa” – calls on young minds to use robotics to tackle real-world challenges and envision a thriving, tech-powered continent.
What Is It?
The Innovation Challenge is a national competition for young robotics enthusiasts to showcase their creativity, engineering skills and social consciousness. This isn’t just about building robots – it’s about building solutions that matter.
Who Can Enter?
Teams of 2-4 learners from Grades 2 to 11, each guided by a teacher or coach. Whether you’re from a rural township or a bustling city, this challenge is for every dreamer with a robot and a vision.
Project Requirements:
Each team must submit a pre-built, working robot prototype; an eye-catching A2 project poster; a code file showing off your programming skills and a project report (details vary per grade category). This is your chance to blend creativity, engineering, storytelling and coding into a single, powerful showcase.
Key Dates:
