#BurkinaFaso - Quatre jeunes Burkinabè ont remporté la médaille d’or du Prix du Jury au FIRST Global Challenge 2025, la plus grande compétition mondiale de robotique, organisée au Panama du 29 octobre au 1er novembre 2025.
Selon Odilon Simporé, cofondateur et président de Gobelab Burkina, l’école dont sont issus les quatre lauréats, l’équipe a adopté une stratégie hybride en concevant un robot polyvalent, capable d’exceller sur l’ensemble des épreuves. Une approche qui s’est révélée déterminante dans l’obtention de la médaille d’or.
Le thème de l’édition 2025, qui a réuni plus de 190 pays, portait sur la restauration de la biodiversité. Les participants étaient invités à programmer et faire évoluer leurs robots dans un environnement riche et simulé, afin de restaurer des habitats, préserver l’équilibre écologique et protéger les espèces vulnérables. Ce défi visait à illustrer la complexité des systèmes naturels qui soutiennent la planète et à souligner le rôle essentiel de l’innovation technologique dans leur préservation.

@MRTMURDERERSROW@cecild84 Here's a perfect example of a limiting thought. When it's good, it can't be made by us. Even after the "Grasking ", they still don't believe it. Take some keywords and do the research for yourself. The evil is deep.
@ali_naka It's an AI-generated image. It's crazy how gullible people are on social networks, especially on X. I invite you to ask for community ratings on this image. They can't fool us!
@maverick2886@EndWokeness I'm going to ask you to analyze the image more closely please and correct your post. It's an AI-generated image. maybe you only see what your mind wants to see.
@EndWokeness Seriously, is your human intelligence failing you? Can't you see that this is an AI-generated image? Unnatural postures, phantom limbs.... Pff. Don't drag the land of the upright 🇧🇫 into this!

🇧🇫Burkina Faso’s Young Tech Pioneers: Kids as Young as 7 Code and Build Robots in Ouagadougou
In Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, a technological revolution is underway as children as young as 7 are mastering robotics, coding, electronics, and mechanics at PSCHOOL (Programming School). This innovative training center is empowering the next generation of African innovators, equipping them with hands-on skills to create robots, design interactive games, and wire electronic circuits. As Burkina Faso leads the way in nurturing young tech talent, this initiative signals a bright future for the nation and the continent.
At PSCHOOL, children aged 7 to 17 are diving into STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) through engaging, practical courses. These young learners are not just studying theory—they’re building robots, coding games, and designing circuits in a creative, supportive environment. The program introduces tools like Scratch and Python, alongside robotics kits such as Makeblock’s mBot2, fostering skills in problem-solving and innovation. By starting early, PSCHOOL is preparing Burkinabé youth for a technology-driven world, aligning with the nation’s push for self-reliance and progress.
Under the leadership of President Captain Ibrahim Traoré, Burkina Faso is investing in its youth to build a digitally empowered nation. PSCHOOL’s efforts complement broader initiatives, such as coding workshops and drone piloting camps, which have trained children as young as 7 in cutting-edge technologies. This focus on early STEM education positions Burkina Faso as a leader in African innovation, inspiring other nations to prioritize tech skills for their youth. The enthusiasm is palpable, with parents and educators praising the program for sparking creativity and ambition in young learners.
The initiative has ignited excitement across Burkina Faso, with families celebrating the opportunity for their children to engage with technology at such a young age. The program’s success reflects a growing African sentiment: development begins with empowering the next generation. By fostering skills in robotics and coding, Burkina Faso is not only preparing its youth for global tech careers but also setting a model for the continent to follow. As one supporter noted, “While others catch up, Burkina Faso is raising tech giants!”
Burkina Faso’s PSCHOOL is revolutionizing education by teaching children as young as 7 to code, build robots, and design circuits in Ouagadougou. This bold initiative is nurturing a generation of innovators, positioning the nation as a trailblazer in African STEM education. As Burkina Faso invests in its youth, it sends a powerful message to the continent: the future belongs to those who empower their children to create and innovate.
