Alan Sun, Incoming UBC First-Year Engineering Student, Appointed as Founder of Global Youth Foundation’s Robotics Club
Vancouver, BC – June 6, 2026
Alan Sun, Founder of GYF’s Robotics Club.
On June 6th, 2026, the Robotics Club was officially established to bring together students who are passionate about engineering, technology, and innovation. The club provides a collaborative environment where members can explore robotics through hands-on projects, competitions, workshops, and community engagement.
Our club connects aspiring engineers, programmers, and creators from around the world who share an interest in robotics and emerging technologies. Members have opportunities to develop technical skills in programming, electronics, computer-aided design (CAD), and mechanical engineering while working together to solve real-world challenges. Through guest speakers, project showcases, and team-based learning, students gain valuable experience that supports their academic and career aspirations in STEM fields.
The Robotics Club fosters a welcoming and inclusive community where curiosity, creativity, and teamwork are at the heart of every project. By collaborating across cultures and backgrounds, members learn to communicate effectively, think critically, and innovate with purpose. Whether building autonomous robots, exploring artificial intelligence, or mentoring younger students, members are encouraged to use technology to make a positive impact on society.
“We want to inspire students to turn their ideas into reality, embrace the spirit of innovation, and develop the technical skills, creativity, and confidence to become the next generation of engineering leaders.”
— Alan Sun, Founder of the Robotics Club

Engineering Admission Seminar
On June 13th, 2026, the Global Youth Robotics Club hosted its first educational session, where Founder Alan Sun shared valuable insights into the world of engineering, robotics, and technology.
During the meeting, members explored the diverse fields within engineering, including mechanical, electrical, software, computer, and mechatronics engineering, as well as emerging areas such as robotics, automation, and artificial intelligence. The presentation emphasized the importance of building strong foundations in mathematics, physics, programming, and problem-solving while encouraging students to gain hands-on experience through personal projects, robotics competitions, and collaborative design challenges.
Furthermore, the session introduced students to university engineering programs, degree pathways, and career opportunities in STEM. Members learned about the engineering application process in Canada, what to expect during university, and how early involvement in technical projects, leadership, and extracurricular activities can help prepare them for future success in engineering and innovation.
Members also had the opportunity to ask questions, gain valuable advice from experienced students, and better understand the challenges and rewards of working in the engineering and robotics field.
We look forward to continuing our preparation for future engineering and STEM students, providing them with the best opportunities and advice in their journey.
