The team is mentored by Mr. Lofan Tupou and Mr. ‘Osaiasi Lolohea, who supports the students in developing their technical skills, creativity, teamwork, and confidence.

As a diverse team of three boys and one girl, Team Tonga is excited to learn from young innovators from around the world, exchange ideas, embrace new challenges, and build lasting international friendships. More importantly, the team hopes to inspire other young Tongans to explore STEM, robotics, and technology.
