Educational robotics programs have been introduced in Estonian kindergartens and schools with the goal of sparking students' interest in technology from an early age. The program aims to train teachers, acquire robotic kits for students, and support schools. It also organizes competitions and events to showcase student outcomes. Over 25% of Estonian schools have participated, helping to develop problem-solving and engineering skills among youth. The hope is that such initiatives will boost the number of students pursuing technology careers.
