Building Libya’s next generation of innovators.
A year of robotics, STEM learning, youth leadership, community building and opportunities for young people across Libya.
A nationwide community built around learning by doing
LYBOTICS is an active force in robotics and STEM education in Libya. Through competitions, mentoring, training, outreach and community programs, we help young people access meaningful opportunities in science, engineering, technology and leadership.
Our Mission
We want to inspire young people to become science and technology leaders and innovators. We do this through exciting mentor-based programs that build science, engineering, technology and life skills.
Our approach combines learning by doing with competition, collaboration, leadership and fun.
We are building confidence, teamwork, problem-solving ability, communication, leadership and a nationwide culture of innovation.
2025–2026 Snapshot
Pathways for young innovators
LYBOTICS creates opportunities at different stages of a young person’s journey — from early exploration to advanced robotics, leadership and university-level innovation.
FIRST Tech Challenge Libya
A national robotics pathway for students aged 12–18, combining engineering, programming, teamwork, communication and leadership.
Libya STEM Championship
STEM learning and exploration for children aged 6–12 through hands-on activities, robotics and friendly competition.
LIBYA Unibotics Competition
An advanced robotics and innovation experience for university students aged 18–25.
Coding & Robotics Academy
Expanding access to quality STEM, robotics and coding education beyond traditional school programs.
Salam@Libya
A digital safety initiative focused on increasing digital literacy and awareness of online threats, risks and solutions.
Why This Matters
Robotics gives young people a practical platform to learn, collaborate, solve problems and connect with peers from communities across Libya.
The competition continues beyond the main season
One of the strongest signs of a growing robotics community is when teams begin creating opportunities for one another. During 2026, friendly and off-season competitions were organized in multiple Libyan cities.
AMLY Robotics Off-Season Competition
AMLY Tech Robotics Team and the American School of Tripoli brought together 19 teams from six Libyan cities for two days of friendly competition, learning and collaboration.
Ru'ya Robotics Tournament — Second Edition
The second edition of the Ru'ya Robotics Tournament brought teams together in Benghazi for another locally organized opportunity to compete, learn and develop.
Misrata Robotics Championship
Misurata joined the growing off-season competition calendar, creating another platform for teams to keep building, testing and learning beyond the formal season.
Taj Summer Robotics Tournament
The second edition of the all-girls Taj Summer Robotics Tournament created a dedicated space for girls to build, program, compete and strengthen their confidence in STEM.
These tournaments demonstrate an important shift: LYBOTICS teams are not only joining robotics opportunities — they are increasingly organizing them for other young people.
A year of opportunity and connection
National Robotics Season
The 2025–2026 season connected teams through qualifying tournaments and activities across Libya, building a national pathway toward the Libya Robotics Championship.
International Representation
LYBOTICS Shadow Wizards Team 30706 from Tripoli and LYBOTICS Castle Team 18448 from Sabha represented Libya at FIRST Tech Challenge Premier Events in Canada.
Youth Leadership
Young people continued moving from participants to mentors, volunteers, organizers and leaders within the LYBOTICS community.
Community Outreach
Teams developed activities beyond competition, using robotics to engage schools, families and communities.
Learning Across Cities
LYBOTICS continued bringing young people from different Libyan cities together around common technical challenges, teamwork and learning.
Digital Safety
Through Salam@Libya, the organization is also rebuilding its work around digital safety, literacy and responsible technology use.
More than building robots
Our impact studies show that the robotics experience extends beyond technical knowledge. Participants develop confidence, teamwork, leadership and problem-solving skills that remain valuable long after a competition ends.
Building the next chapter
Our priorities
- Expand access to robotics equipment, training and opportunities for new teams.
- Support more community-led friendly tournaments and off-season competitions.
- Strengthen technical development for students, mentors and teams.
- Create more international opportunities for young Libyans.
- Continue digital safety work through Salam@Libya.
- Grow sustainable partnerships that can support LYBOTICS' long-term national impact.
Why LYBOTICS?
LYBOTICS is built on a simple belief: young people can achieve extraordinary things when they are given opportunity, trust and the tools to learn.
What began as an effort to expand access to robotics has grown into a nationwide community of learners, mentors, volunteers and young leaders.
Learn by doing.
Build through collaboration.
Inspire the next generation.
