Since its inception in 2009, Roboticist has been the pioneer in robotics and STEM education in Malaysia, dedicated to empowering young innovators through hands-on learning, real-world problem solving, and global robotics engagement.

Vision

To ignite curiosity and develop future technology leaders by making robotics and STEM education accessible, engaging, and impactful from early learners to workforce-ready individuals.

Mission

Roboticist aims to:

• Deliver high-quality, objective-driven STEM education that builds foundational skills in science, programming, engineering and mathematics.
• Inspire students to explore creativity, critical thinking and collaboration through project-based robotics programmes.
• Support participation in national and international robotics challenges to build confidence and global perspective.
• Bridge the gap between education and future workforce readiness by nurturing skills that matter in tomorrow's economy.

A Legacy of 16 Years (and Growing)

For more than 16 years, Roboticist has stood at the forefront of robotics education in Malaysia. Since its founding in 2009, when robotics and STEM awareness were still emerging in the nation, the organisation has:

• Introduced thousands of students to robotics and coding, shaping early interests into lifelong skills.
• Guided Malaysian youth to represent the nation at prestigious global competitions such as the FIRST Global Challenge, fostering excellence, teamwork and international exposure.
• Expanded opportunities for students from diverse backgrounds to participate in learning pathways that extend beyond classrooms and into real innovation spaces.

Founders Passion & Impact

Ilylia Kamaruzaman and Nabila Kamaruzaman, the visionary founders of Roboticist, recognised early on that traditional education often lacked the engagement and real-world application needed to truly unlock student potential. Determined to make STEM education relevant, exciting, and meaningful, they built a platform that champions hands-on robotics learning seamlessly blending creativity with strong technical foundations.

Their belief has always been simple yet profound: when students are given the right tools, guidance, and opportunities, they don't just learn, they innovate, compete, and succeed on the global stage. Through Roboticist, Ilylia and Nabila have opened doors for students across Malaysia, ensuring that robotics and STEM are not distant ambitions, but accessible realities for learners of all ages and abilities.

At Roboticist, we provide a fun, engaging, and hands-on learning environment for enthusiastic students aged 4 to 18 years old. Our programmes are designed with flexible schedules and objective-driven syllabuses, ensuring every student learns at their own pace while building real-world skills in robotics, programming, and technology.
