For FGC 2024 Team Ecuador is formed by students that have been selected for their skills and interest in Robotics and STEAM. It has been integrated and strengthened through working in teams in STEAM projects to develop skills and abilities through purposeful technologies. Students are experienced in participating in various Robotics events and competitions. We are very glad our team fulfils inclusion consideration.

Through our participation we also try to inspire the young minds of the school’s students and youngsters in communities about the exciting possibilities of science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics.

Among other initiatives, we work to include and create awareness about STEAM in the educational community and, in the short term, advise new FIRST teams in the schools of our community, ensuring that the passion for STEAM continues to grow and compete, for a better development of the logical thinking and use of technologies with purpose.

FGC 2024 marks greater responsibilities for Team Ecuador, we are full of emotion, dedication to work and participate. Thus, this year’s theme, “Feeding the Future”, focuses on creating a sustainable food system, crucial for our community’s environmental health, well-being, economic stability, social justice, and resilience.
We look forward to connecting with other FIRST Global teams around the world, to replicate our commitment and multiply knowledge and creativity, and collaborate with other sister teams to find innovative solutions that can make a real difference and build lasting relationships.
