Last weekend, from the 13th to the 16th of October, Angola was present at the 2022 edition of the FIRST Global robotics world championship, in Geneva, Switzerland, an event that aims to seek to highlight the biggest challenges facing our planet, while encouraging the next generation to build the science, technology, engineering and math skills needed to solve them.
The Angolan delegation was represented by 7 students coming from schools such as IMPTEL, IPIL, IPDDF and who were selected after participating in the national robotics championship (CANAR held by Arotec).
In its third participation in the world robotics competitions, the national team started the first challenge against the teams from Mexico and Hondura, where it lost the first game by 258 to 86, but won the second game.
Angola had a maximum score of 411 points, having played 12 games and ranked 74th out of the 163 countries participating in the event.
