I am Zaur Balagadashov, a teacher with a deep passion for technology and science. Since childhood, I have strived to develop myself in the fields of engineering and innovation. My goal is to utilize the power of technology to create impactful projects that benefit our society. I have several years of experience in robotics and programming, and I have worked on various projects in these areas. My teamwork and problem-solving skills have helped me advance further in this field. I believe that the key to success lies in collaboration and continuous learning. Participating in the FIRST Global Challenge is a great opportunity for me. This will be my fifth time leading the Azerbaijani team in this competition and proudly representing my country. This international platform allows me to showcase my knowledge and exchange experiences with participants from all over the world. Being introduced to new technologies and applying them to real-world challenges during the competition is an exciting experience for me. I am ready to represent Azerbaijan’s technological potential with pride at this Olympiad. As a mentor to young innovators, my goal is not only to succeed in this competition but also to continue contributing to the development of my country in the future.

I am Zakir Ibrahimov, and I am a first-year Computer Science student at Baku Higher Oil School. I have successfully completed the Foundation program and am currently continuing my undergraduate studies. I have a strong interest in programming, artificial intelligence, and robotics. My main purpose in participating in the First Tech Challenge is to gain hands-on experience in engineering and apply my technical knowledge in real-world situations. This competition also offers a great opportunity to improve my teamwork, creative thinking, and problem-solving skills. In the future, I aim to contribute to innovative technology projects and support the development of STEM education in Azerbaijan. I believe the experience I will gain during this challenge will have a positive impact on my professional journey.

My name is Ibrahim Balagadashli, and I am an 8th-grade student at the Lyceum of Digital Knowledge. This year, I am excited to participate for the first time in the “FIRST GLOBAL Challenge”, where I will be part of the team as a robot designer. I think our team will achieve good results. I have previously participated in many Olympiads. My favorite subjects at school are Computer Science and Mathematics. I have taken part in the World Robot Olympiad and have gained valuable experience through both STEM and STEAM Olympiads. I also have experience in coding and continue to develop my skills in this field. By participating in this competition, I will gain two main things: great friendships and creative experience.

My name is Hamid Alzada, a 14-year-old student from Azerbaijan with a deep interest in engineering and robotics. Over the past few years, I have actively participated in several competitions related to this field, constantly seeking to expand my knowledge and skills. The FIRST Global Challenge represents a significant opportunity for young minds like mine to engage on a global stage. With more than 190 countries taking part, I see this event not only as a competition but also as a platform for cultural exchange and global collaboration. This will be my first time participating in the challenge, and I am committed to making meaningful contributions to my team. I am excited to represent my country and to gain valuable experience that will shape my future in science and technology.

My name is Nijat Taghizada. I am a 11th grader in high school, wishing to study either Computer Science or Data Science. He has always been passionate about STEAM related activities, participating in various international science fairs. His main interest would be mathematics, which he displays by taking various university level courses in this field. He also has a lot of experience as a coder, by competing in “competitive programming” competitions and creating mobile applications. He is aware of the ongoing climatic issues, even creating a mobile application that tries to tackle one of them.
