Willing to learn more about this science of robotics, the 26-year-old genius went to study more for four years. While learning and gaining more experience in his chosen field, Silas took up a leadership position as the team leader of Robotics In Schools programme.....
.... which encourages and pays attention to students in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM).
Hence, he was also able to impact lives and develop younger, aspiring technologists via the means of this programme.
It was during the course of engaging these youths that Silas developed the idea of helping STEM students know their onions through revolutionizing the science of robotics. This idea which budded over time has gone on to birth the world’s first gaming robot called MekaMon.
