The competition, held from September 26th to 29th, brought together over 190 countries in a series of team-based robotics challenges designed to test technical abilities, problem-solving skills, and collaboration. The Dominican contingent, though small in number, showcased their innovative spirit with a mobile robot capable of picking up and distributing basketball-like objects to score points. Their robot's advanced features included magnetic switches, continuous rotation servomechanisms, and encoders, which helped the team score over 120 points in one of their matches. The team, led by mentor Kodie Jean-Jacques and assistant mentor Odessa Dinnard, also included several other young innovators from various secondary and tertiary institutions across Dominica. These students, who study subjects such as Information Technology, Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, and more, are among the most committed in their academic disciplines. FIRST Global, the host organization, aims to inspire leadership and innovation in youth through STEM education, fostering cross-cultural communication and cooperation. This year's event provided an excellent opportunity for Dominican students to join forces with peers from diverse backgrounds, ethnicities, and religions, collectively tackling global challenges and inventing solutions to improve quality of life. The Dominican team expressed gratitude to their sponsors, including the Ministry of Education, International Trading Standard (ITS) Limited, The National Telecommunications Regulatory Commission (NTRC), 767.Dev, The Pemberton Foundation, Corp EFF Insurance Company Ltd., The National Cooperative Credit Union, Bel Lavi Villa, Flow Dominica, Jaydees Naturals, and Helena\u2019s Photo Studio. Their impressive performance at the &quot;Robotics Olympics&quot; Challenge not only highlights their technical prowess but also underscores the potential of Dominica's youth to excel on the world stage.\">\n<div class=\"ac-container ac-adaptiveCard has-image\">\n<div class=\"ac-textBlock\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-330398\" src=\"https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Robotics-642x856.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"853\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Robotics-642x856.jpeg 642w, https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Robotics-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Robotics-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Robotics-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Robotics-360x480.jpeg 360w, https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Robotics.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Dominica\u2019s young innovators have made their mark on the global stage at the 2024 FIRST Global \u201cRobotics Olympics\u201d Challenge in Greece<strong>.<\/strong>\u00a0The team, consisting of five students\u2014Amado Benjamin, Cadel Casimir, Christiana Walsh, Kenilee Baron, and Xaria Timothy\u2014demonstrated exceptional skill and teamwork, ranking 3rd in the OECS and placing in the top 73% of countries worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>The competition, held from September 26th to 29th, brought together over 190 countries in a series of team-based robotics challenges designed to test technical abilities, problem-solving skills, and collaboration.
