RAFIQ to the rescue! is the story of Khadija, a creative young inventor with a big heart. After school, she spends time with her grandfather and notices how difficult it is for him to use his cane while caring for his beloved plants. When she sees him struggling to reach the plants on his windowsill, Khadija gets an exciting idea for her science fair project.
Using engineering, creativity, and problem-solving, Khadija designs and builds Rafiq, a plant-watering robot that makes caring for her grandfather’s plants easier. Along the way, she discovers that engineering is not just about building things, it’s about understanding people, finding creative solutions, and using STEM to improve everyday life.
