Team Iraq 2018

They met in the science camp (the Iraqi maker) and developed a connection between each other, and this is the place where they work to represent their country internationally and make relationships with their international peers. Our team is interested and passionate in Robotics and STEM fields and each of us has skills that, when combined together, will create a wonderful team with great results. This is our second time attending the challenge and this participation will allow us to be a source of inspiration for youth in different countries, and we hope that we achieve the results we aspire to.
