We believe Cambodia’s young people should not only learn about the future — they should help design and build it.

Tech for Kids Academy is pleased to announce a new collaboration with Class Of Your Own Limited (COYO) from the United Kingdom to support Cambodian schools to participate in the international Design Engineer Construct! Racetrack Challenge.

This collaboration marks an exciting step in TKA’s mission to connect Cambodian students with global future-skills opportunities, practical project-based learning, and real-world challenges that develop creativity, teamwork, sustainability thinking, digital confidence and problem-solving.

Through this first phase, TKA will support Cambodia-facing mobilisation for the Racetrack Challenge by helping schools understand the opportunity, coordinating local communication, identifying translation and localisation needs, supporting student participation where appropriate, and engaging relevant industry volunteers and supporters.

Participating schools will register directly through the official COYO Challenge platform and access the established DEC School resource centre, including the official challenge brief, webinars, technical support resources and related materials provided by COYO.

Why This Matters for Cambodia

Cambodia is entering a new phase of growth where young people need more than classroom knowledge. They need opportunities to apply what they learn to real-world problems connected to design, engineering, infrastructure, technology, sustainability and the built environment.

The Design Engineer Construct! Racetrack Challenge provides a practical entry point for students to explore these areas through a global challenge format. It encourages young people to think like designers, engineers, problem-solvers and future builders of their communities.

For TKA, this is part of a wider strategy: helping Cambodian schools move from one-off activities to structured future-skills learning pathways connected to global challenges, industry mentors, school showcases and long-term student development.

From Global Challenge to Local Learning Pathway

The Racetrack Challenge will be the first step. Through this collaboration, TKA aims to encourage participation from selected Cambodian schools and use the learning from this initial phase to explore future opportunities for wider Design Engineer Construct! activity in Cambodia.

Invitation to Industry Partners and Sponsors

We also welcome collaboration with companies, sponsors and professionals in construction, architecture, engineering, real estate, infrastructure, technology, sustainability, transport, urban planning and related sectors.

Industry partners can support Cambodian student teams through mentoring, technical insight, career awareness, sponsorship and showcase opportunities.

This is not only a student challenge. It is a way to build Cambodia’s future talent pipeline.

Looking Ahead

We believe Cambodia’s young people should not only learn about the future — they should help design and build it.

This collaboration with COYO is an important step toward connecting Cambodian students, schools, educators, industry and public-sector stakeholders to meaningful global opportunities.

We look forward to working with schools, partners, sponsors and stakeholders who share the same belief: that Cambodia’s next generation can become creative problem-solvers, future engineers, responsible innovators and builders of a more sustainable future.
