ENJOY AI 2026 African Open Ghana

ENJOY AI 2026 African Open Ghana is a continental robotics, STEM and AI competition for young people, hosted in Accra by The MakersPlace across two days in late September 2026. Part of the international ENJOY AI competition family that channels finalists towards global finals in China, the African Open brings together schools, school-based robotics clubs, national delegations and country coordinators from across Africa for a tournament built around practical robotics challenges, teamwork and technical performance.

The event is aimed at students within defined age bands, with categories spanning a range of themed missions — including challenges that combine programming, robotics and drone piloting, where teams must collaborate, make rapid decisions and adapt their strategy as conditions on the field change. Final categories and rules are issued through an official technical pack for the season. Beyond the competing teams, the programme accommodates coaches, chaperones, school representatives, education leaders and partners, reflecting its dual role as both a competition and a continental gathering for STEM education. The organisers frame the African Open as a pathway from local preparation through continental competition to the global stage, strengthening African participation in future-focused education. International teams are advised to coordinate travel and accommodation through the organising team's official country-coordination process rather than booking independently in advance.
