In 2026, your Future Innovators team will design and build a robot that advances the world of art and culture. You will need to think about questions like: How can technology boost creativity and empower artists? How can robots help save and share history and culture? What new experiences or artworks can be discovered through robotics?
Pick a real problem – or dream up an amazing idea – within one of the three areas above. You might even combine areas. Talk with artists, conservators, historians, or your community to gather feedback and inspiration. Think about accessibility, inclusion, and how your technology serves real needs.
Once you've found a problem to solve, you need to design a robot that can help. This means thinking about what your robotic solution will look like, what it will do, and how it will work. Then you will build the robot model.
Once you're ready, share your idea and your robot with the world. Your presentation should highlight not only your engineering but also your creative process, impact, and respect for cultural authenticity.
Have fun with your project!
