Isaac Ibidun (far right, Year 11) member of the 5-man team representing Nigeria at the FIRST Global Robotics Competition that took place in Dubai.

Isaac, a Greensprings student was one of the five students in Team Nigeria. The other students are from other schools in Nigeria.

Over 200 students were shortlisted for the challenge before Isaac made it to the top five to represent Nigeria for the competition.

Participating teams are composed of students – aged 14 through 18 years – with the common goal of increasing their knowledge of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics so that they can become the next generation of scientific leaders who will work together to solve some of the world’s most pressing problems, from food security and access to clean water to finding better medicines and securing cyberspace.

The year’s competition drew the participation of more than 1,500 students from 191 countries and held from October 24 to 27.

Team Hope which comprises five Syrian refugee teenagers were awarded winners of this year’s challenge.

Have you ever wondered what the future hold for us?

Intelligent robots have been debated in books and films for decades.

Recently ‘Machine Intelligence’ has become so powerful that we are now convinced that it is no longer science fiction but something that will change our lives very soon.

We understand that technology is changing the world in so many ways. So, we collaborated with the Airbus Foundation to train this future innovators in robotics and engineering from 19th to 21st of March 2019 at the Anthony campus.

Robotics Engineering which is a branch of engineering and science that includes mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, computer science, and others is gaining momentum very fast.

It deals with the design, construction, operation, and use of robots, as well as computer systems for their control, sensory feedback, and information processing.

The students had the opportunity to learn this hands-on skill during the three days intensive program.
