02 Jul Team Albania 2020 🇦🇱
Team Albania is a group of young engineers aged 14-18, who have all been involved in FIRST programs and STEM competitions before: Martin Kalo (14, Builder and 3D Designer), Dea Rrozhani (17, Team Captain and Programmer), Igli Qershori (18, Builder), Samuel Gjonaj (15, Documentation), Arb Izeti (15, Digital Media), Enea Kallushi(15, Builder) and Sindi Gjonaj (16, Outreach Coordinator). The students are all truly passionate about robotics and attended various international robotics and programming competitions, including Technovation, FTC, FLL, and previous FGC editions. They are guided and supported by Juljan Grori (Technical Mentor), who voluntarily made himself available to share his knowledge in the field of robotics with the students. Based in Tirana, the Albanian capital, FGC Team Albania practices the Technical Challenges at the Innovation Lab of the European University of Tirana, which kindly offered their facilities to the team. Through hard work and dedication, Team Albania’s main goal is to foster the development of STEM within the Albanian youth community, in order to help Tirana become an important innovation center in Eastern Europe.
