Do you work with young people who are ready to turn ideas into solutions?
COL’s Youth Robotics Innovation Challenge is inviting young people across the Caribbean, ages 16–23, to apply and put their creativity and problem-solving skills into action.
Selected participants will join one of seven robotics groups tackling real-world challenges related to blue-green resilience, climate action, food security, oceanography, waste management and community innovation.
With support from mentors and access to robotics kits and learning resources, participants will develop innovative solutions and share their journey with leaders at the upcoming Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) in Antigua and Barbuda this November.
Share the opportunity with your students, youth networks and communities. Applications close 11 August 2026!

Jamaica continues to invest in education as a driver of opportunity, resilience and national progress, advancing initiatives across higher education, skills development, agriculture and the wider use of technology-enabled learning.
This work includes strengthening mathematics teaching, improving learning opportunities for disengaged boys, building climate literacy, and expanding pathways to employment through micro-credentials. With COL support, Jamaica is supporting teachers and institutions to create open educational resources, explore teacher-guided uses of AI and develop sustainable business models for technology-enhanced teaching and TVET training.
We celebrate Jamaica’s achievements and look forward to continuing our shared work to make learning more inclusive, relevant and responsive to national priorities.
