Meet Sufyan & Tanjib, West Haven High School seniors and robotics team captains. After noticing new members struggle with basics, they started a non-profit to teach younger students foundational robotics skills—preparing them to excel in competitions before reaching high school. With 3 years of experience and top 1% international rankings, they're on a mission to inspire the next generation of engineers. They recently hosted the 𝐑𝐨𝐛𝐨𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐖𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐇𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐋𝐢𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭, partnering with the West Haven Public Library to help 10 kids build and customize their own robots. The event aimed to spark an interest in technology and robotics among young learners. Here are some pictures from the event!
