Neftaly Encouraging Girls in Robotics
Breaking Barriers. Building Futures.
At Neftaly, we believe that innovation thrives when everyone has a seat at the table—and that includes girls in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Robotics is more than just programming machines; it’s about solving real-world problems, collaborating across disciplines, and thinking creatively. We are committed to ensuring that girls are not just participants in this field—they are leaders.
Why Focus on Girls in Robotics?
Globally, women are still underrepresented in STEM careers, especially in tech-related fields like robotics and AI. The gap starts early—many girls lose interest in science and math before they reach high school. That’s where Neftaly steps in: to nurture curiosity, build confidence, and create inclusive opportunities from the ground up.
What Neftaly Is Doing
1. Hands-On Training Programs
We provide robotics workshops and bootcamps specifically tailored for young girls. These hands-on sessions combine technical learning with creativity, teaching everything from basic coding and mechanical design to teamwork and leadership.
2. Mentorship and Role Models
Representation matters. Our mentorship initiatives connect girls with women in robotics, engineering, and technology. These mentors offer guidance, share experiences, and help break down stereotypes about who belongs in tech.
3. Accessible Learning Resources
Through Neftaly’s digital platforms, we offer free and affordable resources for girls to learn robotics at their own pace. We also partner with schools to integrate robotics programs into regular curricula, especially in underserved communities.
4. Competitions and Showcases
We host robotics competitions that celebrate innovation, not just winning. Girls get the chance to showcase their creations, gain public speaking experience, and develop problem-solving skills in real-world scenarios.
Impact That Lasts
Girls who participate in Neftaly’s robotics programs don’t just learn to build robots—they learn to build their futures. They walk away with critical thinking skills, self-confidence, and the belief that they can change the world with technology.
“When I built my first robot, I felt like I could do anything. Now I want to be an engineer and help other girls believe in themselves too.”
— Amina, age 13, Neftaly Robotics Graduate
