Empowering a generation of scientists and innovators across Africa

Why PARC?

Today the largest robotics competition in Africa, the Pan-African Robotics Competition has educated 1500 African youth in Science, Technology, Engineering & Math (STEM) over the past six years. Beginning with 7 West African countries, the competition has rapidly expanded to include participants from 36 countries across Africa and its diaspora.

"The best part about PARC is seeing the enjoyment and satisfaction on the faces of young people as they not only solve problems, but in doing so realize that they can break social and economic stereotypes, and open new possibilities of learning and prosperity for their lives." - Dr. Sidy Ndao
