EZ-Robot was approached by the very passionate lead organizer of ScrapBot, Ben Nortey. Ben had recognized EZ-Robot's product as being simple to use without requiring previous experience in Electronics, Computers or Programming. Simplicity is Ghana's approach to engage the youth and inspire them to create robotics out of household items and recycled materials.
How often are you surprised with the creativity of children? Now give them the power to build robotics without the complications of programming and electronics... That is a very powerful recipe!
EZ-Robot Revolution is more than a product. It does more than sit on a shelf waiting for a consumer to bring it home. Our goal is to inspire people to create, invent and innovate - as well as enjoy themselves. It's important to us that the experience of using EZ-Robot is natural, and therefore you will produce natural results. With our involvement in Ghana's efforts to kickstart a robot revolution, we hope this will also inspire you and your community.
I am personally very honored to be part of the efforts of the country Ghana to empower their youth - whether the result is amazing new robots or other technological advancements... I'm cheering for you Ghana!

That's super awesome. Way to go guys.
thumbs up! this is really cool...
I watched the promo. Don't have time to watch the full episode yet, but this is really cool. I expect these kids will go on to do great things for their country when they grow up (or maybe even before they grow up).
