Our Grade 11 students Aleksandre, Ilya and Daniil took home first place at the Latvian Robotics Olympiad!

Our Grade 11 students Aleksandre, Ilya and Daniil took home first place at the Latvian Robotics Olympiad! The students are now preparing for the World Robotics Olympiad, set to take place in Denmark this September.

Aleksandre shared insight on how the team had prepared for the Olympiad, explaining that it was crucial to start the groundwork in advance. "Over the past two months, we have been working on our robot and its code to get it ready for the competition. Our robot was designed to detect the color of a specific area on the map and pick up the block with the matching color. Looking back, we realized that we could have worked on coding more to enhance the robot's features, even though the robot completed the task successfully."

As another team member Ilya pointed out, there are still several repetitive jobs that humans need to do, leaving little room for creative thinking. Fortunately, robots are designed to take on these tedious tasks, freeing up people to focus on developing their vision and expressing their creativity.

We congratulate Aleksandre, Ilya, Daniil and their computer science teacher Sergejs Bratarcuks! Keep up the great work!
