Profile
Student profile
Jacky Dadisa
Kabera.
I’m a 14-year-old Year 10 student at Braeburn Schools, Nairobi (equivalent to Grade 9 in the American high school system). I’m interested in robotics, AI, 3D design and CNC. I enjoy designing crafts, learning how machines make them, and building ideas that solve everyday problems.

Learning &
experience.
My robotics training introduced me to 3D design, 3D printing and CNC, alongside programming, teaching and competition work.
Early engineering
T² Robotics
I studied EV3 robotics, simple machines, drone navigation, robot design, programming and sensing. I earned certificates in Early Engineering Education Series I and II and Intermediate Robotics Classes Term I.
See Certificates & AwardsDigital design & fabrication
3D design, printing & CNC
During robotics training, I learned Tinkercad 3D design and how to operate 3D printers and CNC machines. I was especially interested in designing crafts that these machines could make and understanding how each machine works. I also explored recycled plastic filament for 3D printing.

Teacher’s Assistant
Supported beginner robotics classes and two 2022 summer camp sessions, sharing skills from robotics training with younger learners.

FIRST LEGO League
Worked on the Superpowered Challenge in Rwanda: an automatic solar tracker innovation project and a robot built and programmed for competition missions.

Playto Labs
I earned six RoboCap League awards through assessment tests in 2024–25: White, Yellow, Orange, Green, Red and Blue. I completed Robotics Master 50 Classes in September 2026.

iD Tech Camps at Rice University
I completed the Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning course on July 31, 2026. I practiced Python coding and built a timed drawing game with a teammate.

Creativity & Innovation
Projects I’ve
worked on.
My projects include an education app idea, a healthcare robot concept, a solar tracker and a Python drawing game.
AI & EDUCATION
Mbaza
“Ask” in Kinyarwanda
I started Mbaza to explore how AI could help students in Rwanda find learning resources. I was thinking about classrooms where several students share one textbook.
The idea is to let learners ask questions and find curriculum resources more easily.

HEALTHCARE ROBOTICS
Helping nurses care for patients
In 2021, I drew a robot that could help nurses care for patients during COVID-19 and presented the idea in robotics class.

Automatic solar tracker
Our team’s innovation project used LEGO motors, a light sensor and a solar panel to demonstrate automatic tracking. We also built and programmed a robot for FLL missions.

Drawing game versus AI
At iD Tech Camps, I worked with a teammate to make a game where players draw a prompt before the timer runs out and AI tries to guess it. We made easy, medium and hard levels with different time limits.

Robotic arm demonstration
I demonstrated an Eva robotic arm during a STEM activity.
