Program Launch: Robotics for Rookies in Kenya
We are pleased to announce the official launch of “Robotics for Rookies,” a 13-week hands-on robotics education program for Kenyan girls aged 11 to 18.
This initiative aligns directly with our commitment to advancing educational opportunities and promoting gender inclusivity in STEM. The program is a collaboration between the European Business Institute (EBU) of Luxembourg and the Kenya Girl Guides Association (KGGA), with curriculum support from Tech Academy, Luxembourg.
The main objective is to inspire and educate girls in robotics, build their confidence in STEM-related subjects, and create pathways into tech careers. The program is designed to be accessible and affordable to help remove financial barriers for families.
The launch included the presence of Minnesota State Representative Huldah Momanyi-Hiltsley (U.S. House of Representatives, District 38A), underscoring the international significance of this empowerment effort.
Program Structure: The 13-week course is tailored for the 11 to 18 age group, featuring engaging, beginner-friendly robotics projects.
