The Robotics for Good Youth Challenge Grand Finale is the prestigious culminating event of the Robotics for Good Youth Challenge 2025-2026, held at the AI for Good Global Summit 2026. Experience the excitement as teams from over 50 countries showcase their skills in this leading UN-based global educational robotics competition focusing on the critical area of food security.
WHAT IS THE ROBOTICS FOR GOOD YOUTH CHALLENGE?
The Robotics for Good Youth Challenge is the leading UN-based global robotics championship, inviting students aged 10 to 18 to develop AI and robotics-based solutions to tackle global challenges. This programme offers a unique entry point into STEM disciplines while fostering problem-solving and teamwork skills that are critical for the next generation of digital leaders. Organized by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), participants design, build, and program robots to complete missions that address real-world issues. The competition promotes the use of free and open-source software and hardware, allowing unrestricted assembly and programming of the robots.

The Bug Algorithms team is made up of two students from Santo Tomás de Aquino school in Caracas, Venezuela. Students Jin Yang Chen Gao and Luis Alejandro Borjes García have dedicated many hours to preparation with their tutor, Jesús Alberto Silva Ramos, because they enjoy learning.

My name is Heyansh Aggarwal, and I am an 11-year-old student who enjoys learning, building, and creating with technology. I believe that technology and robotics should be used to help people and make the world a better place.
I believe the best solutions are simple, clear, and easy to understand. When technology is designed thoughtfully, it becomes more useful and can reach more people.
My interests include robotics, engineering, coding, mathematics, game development, and creative design. I enjoy working on projects that combine logical thinking with creativity, such as designing robots, writing code, creating games, and using maths to solve real-world problems.
For me, technology is not only about machines, but about problem-solving and responsibility. I try to think carefully about how technology affects people and focus on creating ideas that are useful and fair.
As a young innovator from India, I am inspired by my country’s growing role in global technology and innovation. This motivates me to keep learning and to use technology responsibly.
PlaytoLabsThis project reflects my belief that age is not a barrier to innovation. With curiosity and a focus on simplicity, I hope to use technology and robotics to support a better and more inclusive future.

The Spartans: Innovation with Purpose from Margarita Island:
Proudly representing Venezuela’s Colegio Guayamurí, “The Spartans” robotics team emerges as a creative force that combines technical excellence with deep social commitment. Under the philosophy that technology should be a driver of positive change, this team of young talents has established itself as a benchmark for innovation in the island region.
The structure of “The Spartans” stands out for its balance and operational synergy:
– Hassan Hammoud: Leads the team with a strategic vision, coordinating efforts to transform abstract ideas into tangible solutions.
– Manuel Makencie: As the lead programmer, he is in charge of bringing the hardware to life, translating complex challenges into efficient lines of code.
– David Rosario: Ensures the viability of the project as head of logistics, managing the resources and organization necessary for success in each competition.
This young talent has the experienced guidance of Alberto Medina and Alfredo Makencie, who act as coaches, providing the necessary mentoring to enhance the technical and human skills of the group.
Driven by the state-of-the-art academic environment of Colegio Guayamurí, under the coordination of Prof. Mariacristina González, “The Spartans” not only builds robots; develops tools aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Its participation in the AI for Good initiative reaffirms its goal: to demonstrate that, from any corner of the world, ingenuity and artificial intelligence can work hand in hand to build a more equitable and sustainable future.

Our team is honored to represent Vietnam at this international robotics tournament in Switzerland. We come from An Giang, a province in the Mekong Delta well-known for its rich culture, hardworking people, and strong connection to agriculture and sustainability. Although we come from a region far from major technological centers, our passion for science, engineering, and innovation has inspired us to pursue robotics and challenge ourselves on the international stage. Our team was formed by students who share a common belief: technology should be used to create meaningful solutions for society. Each member contributes different strengths, including programming, mechanical design, and communication. Through teamwork, and creativity, we have learned not only how to build robots, but also how to solve problems together under pressure. Our journey has not always been easy. Limited resources, technical difficulties, and balancing academics with robotics training were significant challenges. However, these experiences taught us resilience and determination. Winning the national Robotics for Good championship in Hanoi became an important milestone that motivated us to continue improving and dreaming bigger. The robots we bring to this competition reflects our interest in combining technology with real-world impact. We believe robotics can contribute to a more sustainable, efficient, and connected future, especially in areas such as education, agriculture, and environmental protection. Through the competition, we see this tournament as an opportunity to exchange ideas, learn from talented teams around the world, and share the spirit of Vietnamese youth. We are proud to bring our culture, creativity, and passion for innovation to the global robotics community.

chaBots Destroy is a robotics team from San Luis Potosí, Mexico. We are part of the chaBots community, and our work can be found at https://www.chabots.mx/.
Our team is made up of five students: Karol, Joaquín, Alexa, Santos, and Rafa, with the guidance of our mentor, Roy. The name Destroy represents the way we approach robotics: we build, test, take things apart, and improve our designs through each iteration. For us, making mistakes is part of the learning process, and every failed attempt helps us understand how to make our robots more reliable, stable, and precise.
For this year’s challenge, we developed a two-robot system using LEGO SPIKE Prime, Python programming, 3D-designed parts, and mechanical modifications. Our project focuses on agricultural automation, with tasks related to crop harvesting, sorting, and irrigation. Rather than presenting it as a final industrial solution, we see it as an educational robotics project that allows us to explore real-world problems using accessible technology.
We are excited to share our work with the AI for Good Youth Challenge community and to represent Mexico through robotics, learning, and teamwork.
