Summary

Help launch robotics teams and expand STEM education for Haitian youth, opening doors to innovation, problem-solving, and real-world skills. Through hands-on learning, mentorship, and global competition, students gain the confidence and experience to pursue careers in technology, engineering, and beyond-building a future where opportunity is defined by talent, not circumstance.

Challenge

In Haiti, access to quality STEM education is extremely limited. Many schools lack basic resources like computers, internet access, and trained educators. For students with curiosity and potential, this creates a painful gap: Talent without opportunity Passion without tools Potential without pathways Without access to STEM education, students are often shut out of the fastest-growing fields in the global economy-limiting their futures before they've even begun.

Solution

Through FTC, students ages 12-18 gain hands-on experience in robotics, coding, and engineering-building robots, solving problems, and developing skills for the digital global economy. Equip 5 robotics teams across 5 schools, provide essential kits, tools, and competition materials, train local coaches and mentors, and host Haiti's first national FTC robotics competition. This will directly impact 75+ students, giving them access to skills that open pathways to higher education and careers.

Long-Term Impact

This project is part of a five-year national expansion plan to build Haiti's largest youth STEM pipeline. By 2030, we aim to reach 30-40 schools, engage 400+ students annually, and establish a self-sustaining national robotics league. Educare Haiti has already demonstrated strong results. Our students have demonstrated excellence in global innovation competitions and consistently achieve high academic performance nationally. We are not starting from zero-we are scaling something that works.
