Thirteen Ugandan kids aged 9 to 12 compete at the Open Africa Championship robotics contest in Cape Town. They face teams from 38 countries across five continents, including the USA, Europe, Asia, Latin America, and many African nations. These young minds from Greenhill Academy Buwate belong to the NextGen STEM program, which builds innovation skills among students nationwide. Their teacher, Mellon Kenyangi, believes these children will show Uganda can excel in science and tech globally.

The competition tests how well students design and program LEGO and Rev robots, and also checks teamwork and research abilities. For most kids, this marks their first trip abroad for robotics, which mixes learning with cultural experiences. The Ugandan team carries national hopes as they prove African youth can lead in technology. Their participation helps them meet peers from around the world and see the real impacts of their ideas. These children represent more than just students, but future leaders who can solve problems through innovation.
