As preparations begin for the pilot launch in South Africa, Kenya, Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, and Nigeria, this two-hour orientation and awareness session provides a key introduction for educators to the AI and Robotics Youth Training Programme and its specialized Training of Trainers methodology.
The session presents a high-impact learning model built around an equal balance of theory and practice. Through this approach, teachers are guided across the full engineering journey, beginning with foundational AI literacy and advancing toward the design and construction of an autonomous robot to address predefined problem statements. Structured through intensive eight-hour training sessions, the programme gradually equips educators with the knowledge, tools, and confidence needed to support students in developing solutions for a prototype challenge aligned with the ITU Robotics for Good Youth Challenge.
By connecting technical learning with real-world problem-solving, the session seeks to ensure that educators are strategically prepared to transform their schools into spaces of sustained creativity, experimentation, and innovation. Drawing on Giga’s connectivity, Google’s technical expertise, and the research leadership of IHFC-IIT Delhi, the programme aims to empower a new generation of young African innovators and problem-solvers.
