Namibia’s youth driving change through STEM

Eugenia Moche

A new generation of innovators is reshaping the country’s future through science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).

At the centre of this movement is Genius Robotics, the organisation behind the Namibian Robotics Team.

Once a non-profit organisation, the company has now evolved into a growing enterprise, but its mission remains to empower youth to innovate, bring change, and excite communities through technology.

What began as one young founder’s international experience representing Namibia at the First Global Challenge, an international robotics competition, has now grown into a movement that is inspiring learners.

Genuis Robotics chief executive officer and founder Denis Michael de Abreu said his experience gave him the motivation to ensure that other Namibian students could access the same opportunities.
