September brought fresh momentum across WhalesBot, with new ideas, connections, and learning experiences taking shape around the world.

This month, we introduced EliteMind, our new modular Physical AI robot designed to bring AI learning into the physical world. ENJOY AI continued its global journey with the 2026 African Open in Accra, alongside broader conversations on AI education, including a meeting with Ghana’s Minister for Education, Hon. Haruna Iddrisu. We also welcomed educators from Dehong International Chinese School (Shanghai) to WhalesBot for a closer look at hands-on STEM and AI learning, and refreshed the way we present our STEM & AI Learning Ecosystem through a new brand video showing how hardware, software, curriculum, competition, and AI & STEM Centers come together in a connected learning journey.

Here are some of the highlights that shaped September.
