We are Team Cayman Islands, a small island nation in the Caribbean. Each member of our team represents one of the eight high schools across the Cayman Islands. As a team, we understand that we are not only building robots – but we are also building bridges between schools, cultures, and generations.

United by our passion for robotics, we share a deep commitment to STEM and technical innovation. Through community outreach, we inspire Cayman’s youth to explore robotics and embrace emerging technologies. FIRST Global has given us a global stage, and we are proud to represent our country as we champion the idea that robotics is not just an activity—but a sport, a discipline, and a pathway to the future.

Our 2026 team members are Nicolas Havlin, Kyla Machingambi, Luke Comley-White, Stefan Szczurko, Christopher McTaggart, Allyandro Shand, Dimari Dewar, Raam Palakkal, and Daniel Branis. Our mentors are Glenda McTaggart, Desmond White, Namitha Abraham, Kyle Farrington, Cedric Worthmann, Teejhan Hansraj, and Kieran Finch.

Team Cayman Islands is ready to take on this year’s theme, “Igniting Innovation,” with passion and purpose. We aim to tackle one of the Cayman Islands’ longstanding challenges by exploring how science and technological innovation can help reduce fire risks at our landfill and improve safety for both residents and visitors.
