Maneo Mapharisa · 2023
As technology and Human-Computer Interaction spread across Africa, young children have been attracted to creative designs. This interactive submission showcases three robots that have been developed by High School Children. We are excited to showcase the achievements of the High School students, who have developed three remarkable robots that address real-world challenges. These robots are the result of dedication, creativity, and hard work, and we believe they hold great potential to inspire and captivate the attendees of the conference. Our interactive design provides a firsthand experience of these robots in action developed by children. They have been meticulously designed to solve daily problems faced by individuals, showcasing how technological advancements can enhance our lives. From assisting with household chores to tackling environmental concerns, these robots demonstrate the incredible possibilities when young minds are encouraged to explore the intersection of technology and problem-solving. All the robots designers' age ranges between 11 -16 years old. The children will be able to present, demonstrate, and explain the developed robots.
