Building the Future: Robotics Education for Children and Young Adults

We have trained thousands of children and young adults, almost half are girls. We want to multiply the number of children learning about robotics.

We Won Big in South Korea!

The Marina Orth Foundation celebrates Manuela, Jerónimo, Shalin, and Salomé, students from rural areas of Antioquia who represented Colombia at the 12th International Youth Robot Competition (IYRC) in South Korea, winning gold, silver, and excellence awards among more than 2,000 participants.

This achievement reaffirms the Foundation’s mission to bring quality education and technology to rural areas, proving that with opportunities, young adults can achieve their dreams... even on international stages.

Maria Isabel is Now an Expert in Robotics Programming

María Isabel has demonstrated an incredible ability to use technology in a practical and fun way to build and program robots, design and 3D print, and create web pages. And the most impressive thing is how she has learned to be aware of her surroundings and make use of the elements she finds in them for her creations. She doesn’t limit herself to incorporating circuits and store-bought parts, but is able to reuse materials that others might consider trash. Throughout the process of building and programming, María Isabel has gained valuable lessons. She has learned to manage frustration, cultivate patience, and maintain unwavering perseverance as key elements to overcoming any obstacle.

We Benefit Rural Populations

We reach children and young adults in rural areas where physical access is difficult, the education offered is basic and the opportunities to learn modern industrial technology are scarce.

We Solve Real Problems

Juan, a businessman who owns a flower farm in La Ceja, is seeking engineers to develop automated solutions for his business.

His goal is to be able to find partners close to his business, thus facilitating work for both the company and the collaborators.

What if we continue to train children and other young people so that in the future they can be employed at companies like Juan’s?

Where Robotics, English and Fun Unite!

In Techlish™, our little inventors learn how to use English at the same time they learn about robotics. It’s amazing! They explore magic words like sensors, circuits, and programming while awakening their love for English and technology at the same time.

Learning Robotics Changes Families
