Roboshop: The Malaysian Startup Teaching Kids to Build Robots

We sit down with Shaerfatwa Intannadwah, Founder and Managing Director of Roboshop Technologies, to explore how a small series of robotics workshops has grown into a full-fledged EdTech ecosystem aiming to shape Malaysia’s next generation of tech talent.

Since its founding in 2019, Roboshop has been helping teachers and students not just adopt technology, but truly thrive in technology-driven classrooms — building confidence and creativity through hands-on learning in AI, robotics, IoT, and coding. From hosting national competitions like Let’s Code to preparing students for the 2025 AI Competition in Singapore, the company has become a bridge between education and innovation.

Intan shares how Roboshop is changing what it means to teach and learn in the digital age, and why nurturing future-ready talent may be Malaysia’s most important investment yet.
