Where have we been?
We have taught in Taipei, Tainan, Chiayi and Taitung. Every number on this page is one we can point to a school for.
Kits and funding
Where do the robots come from?
We raised USD 33,000 from the YongLin Education Foundation to buy 70 SPIKE Prime sets for new FLL teams in rural Taiwan, and collected more than 60 EV3 sets, worth about USD 45,000, from our school community. The Ministry of Education’s Youth Development Administration also awarded us about USD 3,000 through its youth volunteer action grant, after a written proposal, several rounds of review and interviews, and a presentation to its selection committee.
How we grow
Who runs the trips?
Every trip is taught by the Taipei team, who travel down together and stay for the length of the trip. Separately, through Train the Trainer, we teach local teams, pastors and volunteers to run sessions themselves, so a community is not left waiting for us to come back.

Origin
How did RoboYouth Taiwan start?
RoboYouth Taiwan began inside FRC Team 4253 Raid Zero at Taipei American School and is now a collaborative initiative of five FRC teams across Taiwan, with its own directors and its own finances. We keep ties to the Department of Education and to the competition team that started us.
Raid Zero was founded in 2012 as the first FRC team in Southeast Asia, and spent years cold-calling schools to build a competition community that now runs without it. The outreach grew out of that work, and by 2024 it was bigger than a competition team could carry alongside its own season, so it became a program in its own right. Sophie Hsu started it and ran it until 2026; Sandy Guo and Erin Huang have run it since.
