Wiz STEAM, a fast-growing technology education company in Nigeria, has announced the rollout of its new Chimbit robotics kit, designed to expand access to digital skills for students from Year 2 to Year 12. The launch comes after a landmark year in which Wiz STEAM learners dominated multiple national tech competitions.

In 2025, students trained by the organisation clinched the top three positions in the Coderina Coding Challenge, emerged champions of the Robotics Galaxy category at Nigeria’s Battle of Bots, and placed among the final three teams in the GLO Innovate Competition. These achievements, the company said, reflect its commitment to raising a new generation of young innovators.

According to Wiz STEAM, the new Chimbit kit is built to give every child—regardless of background—the opportunity to engage with real-world technology. The kit has been tested in both private and public schools nationwide and is fully aligned with Nigeria’s updated digital literacy curriculum.

Designed to introduce young learners to block-based programming before transitioning them to text-based languages like Python and JavaScript, Chimbit provides hands-on experience in electronics, robotics, coding, the Internet of Things, and artificial intelligence.

“Our goal is simple: to give every child the tools to shape their digital future,” the company said in a statement. “Chimbit bridges the gap between curiosity and capability, ensuring students are not only learning technology but applying it meaningfully.”

Wiz STEAM also runs training programs for teachers to support effective classroom delivery and strengthen the overall STEAM ecosystem in schools. With the Chimbit kit now available for wider use, the company says it is preparing to scale its outreach across more regions in 2026.

The organisation maintains that empowering students early is essential for national development and the growth of Nigeria’s digital workforce. “When learners are given the right tools, they thrive—and our results continue to prove that,” Wiz STEAM added.
