Building Robots, Building Confidence
The Leo Project's Mind + Machine program pairs hands-on robotics with social-emotional learning for students ages 9 to 13 in rural Laikipia County, Kenya. Over five weeks, students went from never having touched a computer to building, programming, and troubleshooting their own robots. As TLP instructor Francis Macharia shared, they "didn't just build robots, they built innovation, curiosity, and confidence."
