How Robotics Education is Transforming School Participation

Robotics has emerged as one of the most powerful tools for engaging students in STEM learning. At JengaCode, we've seen firsthand how hands-on robotics projects transform students' understanding and passion for technology.

The Impact

Over the past year, our school robotics programs have reached over 500 students across Nairobi. The results speak for themselves:

  • **95%** of participating students show improved problem-solving skills
  • **87%** report increased interest in STEM careers
  • **92%** complete their robotics projects with pride and excitement
  • Why Robotics Works

    Robotics combines multiple disciplines—programming, engineering, design, and teamwork. Unlike traditional coding lessons, robotics provides immediate, tangible feedback. When your robot moves correctly, you see it right away. This instant gratification keeps students motivated and engaged.

    Beyond the Classroom

    Our programs don't just teach robotics; they teach students to think like engineers and innovators. They learn to:

  • Break down complex problems into manageable steps
  • Collaborate effectively with teammates
  • Persist through challenges
  • Celebrate each other's successes
  • Looking Forward

    We're expanding our school programs to reach more students across Kenya. By 2025, we aim to bring robotics education to 50+ schools, impacting over 1,000 young learners.
