It all started in 2017 with the inception of the FIRST Global Challenge. A team from the tech academy was formed, becoming one of the first 5 countries to register out of the 164 set to participate that year.
The stage was set in Washington DC for the world’s largest Olympics style robotics competition for high school students.
The arena housed people from so many nations, so many cultures it paved the way for friendships, collaboration, professionalism. it was truly magical and you could hear it in the voices of the hundreds gathered there and in the robots. It didn’t end very well for us but we didn’t leave empty handed. We packed with us the knowledge and experience to come back stronger next time.
