Robot Building Clubs and Camps for Orphans and Children at Risk
“Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day.
Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.”
Lao Tzu
Challenges & Risks
- Orphans and children at risk struggle with their senses of identity and self-confidence. In addition they are without skills that would make them competitive in the job market. As a result, they often can’t provide for themselves upon graduation, which leads to lives of poverty and crime.
- Ministries lack innovative tools to capture the interest of older orphans and adolescents at risk. As a result ministries are small and limited to younger children.
Radobot as a Solution
- Radooga’s strength is using technology to reach the younger generation. We have extensive experience and have been developing a network of partners around Ukraine since 1994.
- Ukraine’s IT industry is the fastest-growing sector of the economy. Forty-thousand IT positions remain unfilled because Ukraine’s education system does not churn out enough graduates to meet demand.
- Radooga wants to work with partners to provide high tech skills to give orphans and children at risk a competitive advantage upon graduation.
Projected Impact
- Students will graduate with a reinforced sense of identity, increased self-confidence, and highly sought-after tech skills. As a result, they will be able to find good jobs and be able to support families.
- Orphans and children at risk are guaranteed high-paying jobs in the IT industry. Starting positions pay $900/month vs. the $300/month they can make working as a cashier.
Two Parts of the Radobot Project
Radobot Clubs
- Radobot Club is a weekly, year-round training for 144 orphans and children at risk.
- There will be 3 groups of 16 orphans at 3 sites, once a week. Each class will last 1.5 hours.
- Children will learn: robot building, coding, and teamwork.
- Clubs will strengthen their confidence and self-esteem. Teachers will build relationships and share the Gospel with the students.
Radobot Camps
- Radooga Radobot Camp is a week-long summer day-camp for orphans and children at risk.
- There will be 3 groups of 16 orphans at 3 sites during 5 consecutive days. Each class will last 1.5 hours.
- These camps will allow Radooga to reach the hearts of students by running an innovative program based on Robotics, programming, and the Gospel.
