Nigerian School Excels at Global Robotics Competition in Dallas, Texas
Robotics competitions are not just events but invaluable learning processes that foster teamwork and 21st-century communication and collaboration skills. These competitions allow students to unleash their creativity, tackle challenges, and collaborate effectively, all while exploring different STEM concepts.
Earlier this year, Glisten International Academy from Abuja, Nigeria, proudly represented the country at the 2024 VEX Robotics World Championship in Dallas, Texas. The competition featured over 24,000 students from more than 60 countries. I spoke to Abba Saidu, the executive director of Glisten International Academy, who led the robotics team.
