Across borders and blue waters, Caribbean youth are coming together to turn shared challenges into practical ideas.

Through COL’s Youth Robotics for Blue-Green Resilience and Prosperity Project, young people from across the region are working in teams to explore challenges such as climate resilience, food security, water quality, agriculture and disaster preparedness, and develop robotics-enabled solutions to help address them. Alongside the robotics teams, a dedicated youth cohort is contributing as researchers, communicators and advocates.
