Helena Kotka

Helena Kotka is the original inspiration behind the creation of HK Unicorn Squad. After being excluded from a robotics club at age 10, her father founded a technology school just for girls. Since then, Helena has been actively involved in building robots, learning to code, and exploring technology through Unicorn Squad. She believes education should reflect the real world — where creativity, collaboration, and technology go hand in hand — and advocates for inclusive, engaging tech education. 

HK Unicorn Squad — a tech movement in Estonia that empowers girls by introducing them to engineering, coding, and science through hands-on learning. It is the first technology school in Estonia created exclusively for girls, helping them build confidence, creativity, and real technical skills from an early age.
