About Afrobotics
The idea of Afrobotics robotics competition was initially conceptualized by Nii Simmonds, Henry Barnor, and Ayorkor Mills-Tettey. When one looks at entrepreneurial risk-taking in Africa, there seems to be a vacuum or schism in regards to small-scale manufacturing on the continent. We are coming together as Africans to get students at the secondary and university level to embrace a collaborative, fun, and challenging competition for sustainable engineering startups throughout Africa.
Today, along with Nubian Cheetah, Timbuktu Chronicles and Maker Faire Africa - we look at showcasing students creative engineering talents with their robotic teams. Afrobotics will be a country, regional and continental-wide competition for all African students in the Secondary and University level.
Stay tuned for more details.
