Truths and Deeds!

The world is gradually gravitating towards Artificial Intelligence (AI), and the only way Africa can prepare for this certain future is to embrace computational thinking and skill. Sadly, our educational  institutions are not doing nearly enough to prepare young people in this regard. RoboRAVE International, with support from the US Consulate General, Lagos, has officially commissioned the RoboRAVE Nigeria Team to tackle this challenge. The objective is to champion the integration of Robotics education and competition into the classroom. The goal is to train African kids/Students and adults/Teachers in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) through Robotics. We know for a fact that Africa has the same opportunity as the rest of the world, to achieve the transition from the third industrial revolution; the IT Era/Computer Age, which China and South Korea have tapped into to become world powers. Artificial Intelligence is the next industrial revolution, and w
