As a Mechatronics Engineer specializing in Machine Learning and Deep Learning, I have worked at the intersection of academia and industry — teaching at university level while building collaborative projects between institutions and businesses. Through that work, I saw an urgent, widening gap between traditional education and the fast-evolving demands of the modern world, one that has to be closed starting at the school level.

As Founder & CEO of CoVenture, I have worked closely with startups, schools, and industry to build strong academia-industry linkages. That vantage point inspired the AI & Robotics Program for schools: a future-focused curriculum designed to spark creativity, curiosity, and technical skill in students — from simple circuits and visual coding to advanced AI, robotics, and IoT systems.

This guidebook is more than a curriculum. It is a call to empower the next generation of thinkers, makers, and innovators.
