ZOX Robotics participated in the Crown Town Challenge: Intern Edition, an initiative led by the Charlotte-based nonprofit Digi-Bridge. The event brought together corporate interns from companies across the region for a day of collaborative competition, hands-on tech experiences, and meaningful community contribution.

Hosted at AvidXchange headquarters, the event challenged intern teams to assemble STEAM learning kits for local students and compete in fast-paced LEGO robotics tasks. More than a competition, the Crown Town Challenge serves as a platform for fostering teamwork, leadership, and real-world problem-solving , all while supporting access to technology education for underserved youth.

As part of an initiative to expand access to STEAM education and digital experiences for students, ZOX Robotics collaborated with Digi-Bridge to bring two of its service robots to the event. SocialBot greeted participants with personalized messages and a bit of personality, setting a fun, welcoming tone. CarryX, our logistics robot, moved throughout the space distributing bottled water to guests, keeping teams refreshed and energized.

While our technology often serves in commercial and industrial settings, opportunities like this one reflect our broader vision: using robotics to support and enhance human-centered experiences. Our presence at the Crown Town Challenge was not a product showcase, but a gesture of collaboration, a way to contribute our tools and time to support a mission we deeply believe in.

The event concluded with a celebration of everyone’s hard work including a LEGO-built trophy that symbolized not just victory, but creativity, collaboration, and the spirit of the challenge. Interns from companies across Charlotte came together not only to compete, but to contribute their time and energy to something larger than themselves: expanding access to STEAM learning for students in their community.

ZOX Robotics is proud to have supported this initiative and looks forward to future opportunities to work alongside organizations like Digi-Bridge. Together, we can help shape a future where students of all backgrounds have the tools, guidance, and inspiration to pursue careers in technology and beyond.
