Our Story
The company started in 2017 when we attended the inaugural first global robotics challenge in Washington DC. We met a lot of representatives from about 180 countries who joined the initiative to see kids build robots and compete on a world stage. This gave us the push to replicate the passion and zeal of sciences through fun and games by way of robots. Myself, the mentor of the team that represented Malawi and a few of the team members then decided to open an organisation to volunteer in promoting STEM education in our country through building of robots.
