Growing Demand for STEM Education
Uzbekistan has seen a remarkable surge in interest in STEM education over the past five years. The government has launched numerous initiatives to promote programming and robotics education, from school-level competitions to university programs.
The Hardware Gap
Despite growing interest, many schools outside of Tashkent lack access to robotics hardware. Arduino kits, sensors, and robotic components remain expensive for regional schools, creating a significant urban-rural divide in STEM education quality.
Software Simulation as a Bridge
This is precisely why we built our Robotics Simulator — a browser-based platform that lets students design and test robotic systems without physical hardware. From logic gates to full microcontroller emulation, students can learn the fundamentals of electronics and robotics from any device with a web browser.
Looking Forward
We believe the combination of accessible online tools, competitive programming platforms like RoboContest, and growing government support will position Uzbekistan as a leader in STEM education in Central Asia within the next decade.
