Iakwe aolep, we are team “kajoor wot wor” representing Marshall Islands for the FIRST Global Challenge. Our team is very excited to be part of this beautiful journey of learning more about robots. We are really thrilled to be part of the FGC 2023 and we are ready to put effort and full commitment to your expectations. We are ready to strive and show our island pride to other countries because that is what we do. Our team is ready for the highs and lows.

This beautiful team is composed of five committed students from five different schools. We are excited to be a part of this FGC because we believe in the power of robotics and technology to make a positive impact on the world. We are also excited to meet and collaborate with other students globally and share our passion in STEM.

This year’s theme “Hydrogen Horizon” matters to us because it’s a clean and renewable source of energy that can help reduce / mitigate the effects of climate change, which is an issue that not only our country is facing but every other country around it. In addition, our islands are surrounded by water or in another word H2O, so of course hydrogen means a lot to us.
