Ghanaian Robotics Team's Win Spotlights Need for STEM Investment

Ghanaian Robotics Team's RoboFest Success Highlights Need for STEM Investment A team of students from Apam Senior High School in Ghana has brought home a second-place win from the 2025 RoboFest Time Trial competition. Their achievement, however, is bittersweet, as the team members highlight the lack of resources and support for robotics and STEM education in Ghana. "We were able to win second place in the Time Trial, but the apparatus we are using is low class as compared to other countries," said one team member in an interview featured in a recent video. He further emphasized the need for more government investment in the field. The video shows the team's journey, from the intense competition to their triumphant return to Ghana, where they were greeted by cheering supporters. The contrast between the high-tech competition setting and the comparatively limited resources available in Ghana underscores the team's remarkable achievement and the need for greater investment in STEM education. This success story serves as a powerful call to action for improving STEM education infrastructure and resources in Ghana, fostering a brighter future for young innovators.
