Get ready to be inspired! Three incredible young minds from Karachi, Emaan Zehra, Anaya Anas, and Ayra Rizvi, are making waves in the world of robotics. These Grade VIII students from Haque Academy, aged just 12-13, have not only clinched top spots at the World Robotics Olympiad (WRO) 2025 Sindh Nationals but are now headed to the global finals in Singapore this November!

Known as the “PowerPuff Innovators,” this talented trio dominated the Future Innovators Junior category, securing first place in Sindh and proudly receiving the prestigious Girls in STEM Award. But their journey didn’t stop there! They went on to impress at the national level, finishing an impressive second overall against 51 teams from across Punjab and Sindh.

Their groundbreaking project? An AI-powered financial literacy and management robot! Imagine a smart robot that uses a camera system to help you make smarter purchasing decisions and better manage your finances. That’s exactly what these brilliant girls designed, showcasing how technology can solve real-world problems in innovative ways.

This November, the PowerPuff Innovators will carry the hopes of a nation as they represent Pakistan – and uniquely, as the *only* team from the country – at the WRO Global Finals 2025 in Singapore. They’ll be competing against the brightest young minds from around the globe, proving that Pakistani talent is truly world-class.

The World Robotics Olympiad is a fantastic international platform designed to ignite passion for innovation and STEM skills among students. With the 2025 theme, “The Future of Robots,” challenging participants to dream up robotic solutions for real-world issues, these Karachi schoolgirls have truly embodied the spirit of the competition.
