This study explores the opportunities and challenges of integrating robotics technologies into science-hub libraries in Zanzibar, focusing on three hubs located on Unguja Island. The study population included staff working in the hubs and stakeholders dealing with robotics technologies in the country. A case study research design with a qualitative research approach was employed to collect, analyze, and interpret the data. Qualitative data was gathered through focus group discussions to gauge the respondents’ perceptions and experiences regarding educational robotics technologies in the hub settings. The findings highlight promising opportunities, including government support through infrastructure investments; grants for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics education; a competence-based curriculum; and access to professional development such as online courses. However, key challenges persist, including limited robotics infrastructure, insufficient librarian training, and financial constraints. To address these issues, the study recommends securing long-term funding, advocating for the inclusion of robotics in Zanzibar's education curriculum, and introducing affordable mobile robotics kits.
