PR – Over 190 countries will come together in Panama City to compete in the First Global Robotics Competition, a pioneering international event where students collaborate through science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) to address urgent environmental challenges and promote a healthier planet.
This year’s competition theme, “Eco Equilibrium,” calls on participating teams to innovate collaboratively in ways that maximize biodiversity and protect the incredible variety of life sustaining ecosystems worldwide—from rainforests to coral reefs. The health of humanity and the planet depend on this critical mission.
Representing Grenada in this global event is Team Grenada, who have been preparing rigorously since receiving their robotics kits in August. The team has been designing, building, and programming their robot with great enthusiasm and determination. In addition to technical preparations, Team Grenada has actively connected with international peers from countries including Angola, Belize, Belarus, China, Canada, Colombia, Dominican Republic, Gabon, Jamaica, Jordan, Korea, Kosovo, Mexico, Poland, Tunisia, Uganda, Ukraine, and Uzbekistan.
Beyond robotics, Team Grenada has engaged in impactful community activities aimed at raising environmental awareness. These include a beach cleanup at Flamingo Bay, educational sessions for students in Westmoreland during Career Day, fundraising initiatives to help support club activities, participation in a summer short film, and submission of eleven social media challenges focused on sustainability.
The team will proudly be represented by Jada Jacob, Talisha Jessamy, Jesse Logie, Hadassah Roberts, and Jeromy Simson, under the mentorship of Mr. Clement Commodore and Mrs. Merlisia John.
As Team Grenada and their peers from around the world take on the challenge of Eco Equilibrium, their shared mission highlights the power of young innovators and STEM education in shaping a sustainable future for our planet.
