Early in 2014, the idea for EDRO sprouted one rainy Cape Town weekend. Werner Venter, an industrial engineer, was desperate to tear his two boys away from their computer games. Inspiration struck and he offered them the opportunity to build robots together. Hours turned into days and as his children built and programmed away, Werner was bowled over by their excitement and eagerness to learn. Appreciating how much his children learnt about Mathematics and Programming, an idea for EDRO began to take shape in Werner's mind. Soon the ball was put in motion and EDRO was born; now more and more children can receive this inspirational opportunity.
