Team Vanuatu proudly represents the Republic of Vanuatu at the FIRST Global Challenge 2026. Our team is made up of passionate young innovators, problem-solvers, and future leaders who share a common vision: using science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) to create positive change in our communities and beyond.

Coming from a nation of more than 80 islands in the South Pacific, we understand the unique challenges faced by island communities, including climate change, sustainable development, connectivity, and access to technology. Through robotics and innovation, we are learning how technology can help solve real-world problems while inspiring the next generation of Vanuatu’s leaders.

The FIRST Global Challenge provides an incredible opportunity for Team Vanuatu to collaborate with students from around the world, exchange ideas, celebrate cultural diversity, and demonstrate that talent and creativity can thrive anywhere, regardless of geography.
