Fuel the Future with the Cocobots!
We are the Cocobots! A youth-led Cook Islands Robotics Club using STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) to solve real-world and global challenges.
Our team stood on the world stage and won Gold in our alliance with China, Madagascar, and Moldova at the 2024 FIRST Global Robotics Challenge, which was a proud moment for the Cook Islands. After bringing home Gold, we’ve earned the chance to represent the Cook Islands once again. This time at the FIRST Global Robotics Challenge 2025 in Panama City, 29 Oct – 1 Nov.
Your support will power our journey and inspire the next generation of Cook Islands innovators, engineers, and tech leaders.
