A Note from the Founder, Youssef Osman
Robots Got Talents Founder - Event Director & Sponsor
I am happy to announce the conclusion of the Bots Got Purpose Educators Bootcamp 2026, the kickoff event of the Bots Got Purpose series. A huge thank you to all our online and in-person guest speakers, volunteer tutors, and attendees. I hope this event was beneficial for everyone, as it certainly was for us. We are grateful to volunteer tutors and industry experts who are willing to dedicate their time and effort to support this mission, as well as attendees who generously donated to charities in pursuit of knowledge. We embraced the Bots Got Purpose initiative under the theme "Learn with Purpose."
This was an enjoyable yet challenging experience, as it was our first time fully organizing and sponsoring an event anywhere in the world. We dedicated more than four months to planning and designing the various details seen at the event. There were certainly many unexpected occurrences along the way, and we aimed for a smoother execution. However, our greatest success lies in seeing both attendees and volunteers discover new things and enjoy their time. I hope everyone had an amazing experience.
Hosting the kickoff Bots Got Purpose event in Egypt was especially close to my heart. It is my home country, and the place where the journey of Robots Got Talents first began nine years ago. Choosing Children’s Cancer Hospital Egypt 57357 as our charity reflected this same sense of purpose; a hospital built on generosity, dedicated to providing world-class cancer care to children completely free of charge. We sincerely hope that the kindness and support of our attendees made a real and meaningful difference, with all donations given directly to the announced cause.
I would like to personally thank our esteemed national and international guest speakers and industry experts: Eng. Maha Fathallah, Dr. Diego Galvez, Mr. Ali Elkashef, Mr. Sandipan Chanda, Eng. Aziz Hamdoun, and Mr. Roxan Cosico.
A major reason for the success of this event was the incredible in-person event coordination team, which dedicated its efforts to producing the best event possible. Special thanks to Yomna Eldeeb, our Bots Got Purpose Regional Manager, who worked closely with the Robots Got Talents Board of Directors in designing this event over the past months, and to Mazen Tantawy, our Event Director of Operations, who excellently coordinated the event during both the planning and operation phases. He dedicated weeks to ensuring that everyone had the best possible experience.
Last but not least, I must thank our amazing volunteer tutors who worked tirelessly to assist attendees with their questions and teach their own workshops. All the volunteer tutors demonstrated extraordinary professionalism and expertise: Yomna Eldeeb, Youssef Karim, Nicole Nader, Eyad Elzyat, Ezz Abosalama, Yahia Khalfallah, and Loujiana Shehata. I wish you all the best in your careers; you truly will be, and you are the upcoming industry experts.
Finally, thank you to everyone for joining us on this adventure, where we provide a bot for every learner and a purpose for every bot. I look forward to seeing you at more amazing events. Thank you.
