A team of young female students from Bosomtwe Girls’ STEM High School is set to represent Ghana at the prestigious RoboFest World Championship in the United States.
The competition will take place at Lawrence Technological University in Michigan, where student teams from across the world will compete in robotics, engineering, programming, and problem-solving challenges.
The achievement marks a major milestone not only for the school but also for Ghana’s growing STEM education sector, particularly efforts aimed at empowering young women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

RoboFest is recognised globally as one of the leading robotics competitions for students, bringing together some of the brightest young innovators from different countries to test their technical and teamwork abilities under pressure.
By qualifying for the World Championship stage, the Bosomtwe Girls’ team joins an elite group of student innovators from around the world who have advanced to the highest level of the competition.
The team’s qualification has been described as a strong reflection of the potential of young Ghanaian girls when given the right tools, mentorship, and educational support to compete internationally.
As preparations intensify for the trip to the United States, the students are appealing to Ghanaians both home and abroad for financial and moral support to help cover travel, accommodation, and competition-related expenses.
The appeal has resonated with many supporters of STEM education, who view the team’s success as an important symbol of Ghana’s future in innovation and technology.
Observers say national support for initiatives such as this could inspire more young girls to pursue careers in science, engineering, and technology while strengthening Ghana’s global reputation in STEM education.
The school is expected to share details through its official communication channels on how individuals and organisations can support the team’s journey to the championship.
