The national team of Burkina Faso is made up of five young enthusiasts of science, technology, and robotics, united by the common dream of proudly representing their country at the FIRST Global Challenge 2025 in Panama City. Their journey is driven by passion, innovation, and the determination to prove that, despite challenges, Burkinabè youth have immense potential in STEM.
