RuralBots Initiative
Free robotics and coding for children in rural communities. We build lasting labs and programs close to where children live and learn.
ABOUT THE PROGRAM
STEM education, close to children
The RuralBots Initiative is the program through which ARTESA organizes free robotics and programming workshops in rural communities. The program began in 2024, in Vasilați, and the model is gradually being expanded to other communities.
We don't just organize one-off activities. We build laboratories, form groups that work all year round, and offer children a path where they can learn, experiment, and move forward, including towards competitions.
