The Uganda National STEM & Robotics Championship closed on a high this year, with fourteen schools crowned champions across the full slate of competition categories — from VEX robotics and the Robot Skills Challenge to the STEM Innovation Project and coding.
Hundreds of teams and thousands of students, mentors and parents filled the venue over two days of building, programming, judging and celebration. Judges remarked on the rising quality of the STEM Innovation projects, many of which tackled real community problems in agriculture, health and the environment.
Winning teams earned not only trophies but pathways to international competition. "Every year the bar rises," organisers noted. "These young people are not just learning robotics — they are learning to solve problems that matter."
