Robotics Africa - Riipen Project

In this Riipen project, I worked collaboratively with a team of students to build and deploy the initial iteration of the Robots Africa platform. My primary responsibilities included implementing the login and logout functionality and developing the mentor-teacher matching feature that connects North American mentors with African teachers. The platform enables mentors and teachers to collaborate through a milestone-tracking system, providing real-time feedback on their mentoring progress.

Additionally, I contributed to the chat functionality, allowing mentors and teachers to communicate seamlessly. This project was an excellent opportunity to refine my web development skills while supporting Robots Africa’s mission to democratize access to robotics education across Africa.

Robots Africa is focused on empowering African youth by connecting them with mentors who help teachers introduce robotics into classrooms, driving future-ready education. Through this project, I also gained valuable experience working with industry-relevant tools and technologies while solving real-world challenges in web development.
