FIRST is a robotics community that prepares young people for the future through a suite of inclusive, team-based robotics programmes for children between four and 18 years that can be facilitated in school or in structured after-school programmes.
The kids team made up of 11 pupils of UNILAG Women Society represented the school in the FLL, clinching the outstanding Engineering Award. The prize was awarded to the UNILAG team for building an efficiently designed robot; presenting an innovative project solution, which effectively addresses the season’s challenge as well as displaying and explaining great core values embodied by the team.
At the FTC, UNILAG was represented by Team Contech, comprising students from International School, University of Lagos and neighbouring schools. They built robots from scratch, which attempted several challenges and hurdles.
I believe the team can be productive through a government empowerment program. Sunnynice
