Three Nigeria students; Tawakalitu Giwa, Oluwaseun Omotayo, and Ayomide Adetunji have win big at the 2018 World Adolescent Robotics Competition in Guiyang City, China by claiming Gold medals for proper documentation of processes on engineering note, at the challenge.

The students also won the “Rajaa Cherkaoui El Moursli’ Award for Courageous Achievement at the event organised by the China Association of Science and Technology.

Mrs. Remi Willoughby, National Coordinator of the competition announced the victory said that the students returned to Nigeria on Friday after the five-day event which ended last Tuesday in China. The competition’s challenge was on Water Problem.

News Agency of Nigeria reports that the students – two females and a male from Lagos State schools – were part of the Team Nigeria to the FIRST Global Robotic Olympics in Washington DC in 2017.

They were selected for the China competition based on their performances at the FIRST GRO. The team was sponsored by Aramex and Doculand.

The proper documentation of processes on engineering note was one of the 10 award categories in the competition.

“Rajaa Cherkaoui El Moursli Award for Courageous Achievement is awarded to the team that exhibits a `can-do’ attitude throughout the challenge even under difficult circumstances, or when things do not go as planned. It is bestowed on the team that can best demonstrate resilience and perseverance in the face of great difficulty. “This award looks at how teams embody professionalism, face challenges they encounter and how they overcome them,’’ Willoughby said.

She also stated that three other students who represented Nigeria at the 2018 Pan African Robotic Competition in Senegal emerged second in robotics performance.
