RoboKai

We are RoboKai, a team of six passionate students from Addis Ababa who believe in using robotics to solve critical challenges. Competing in the 2025 Robotics for Good Youth Challenge has inspired us to turn creativity into impact. Under the mentorship of Noah Getachew Birhanemeskel, we’ve learned to combine our strengths in programming, building, design, and communication to create technology with purpose.

Our focus this year is building a robot that simulates rescue efforts during emergencies. Through collaboration, trials, and late-night test sessions, we built a compact robot capable of identifying and transporting injured individuals (represented by blocks) to safety. The experience taught us how to turn ideas into functional machines that reflect both compassion and engineering.

RoboKai is more than just a robotics team. We’re a group of learners who care deeply about access to STEM education. We aim to inspire youth from all backgrounds to explore science and technology. Whether it’s through mentoring, community demos, or open conversations, we want to show others what’s possible when passion meets opportunity.

Each of us plays a key role, from team leadership and building to programming and public speaking. We’ve faced challenges, but every obstacle has made us stronger. We’re proud to represent Ethiopia on a global stage and determined to keep growing.

RoboKai stands for resilience, innovation, and teamwork. We’re not just building a robot—we’re building the future.
