“I’m the programmer guy of the team. I love science subjects. I started learning programming back when I was in the fifth grade. Since then, I’ve been successfully participating in various informatics olympiads. Then, I got interested in robotics and I studied it in a robotics school. One of my friends participated in FIRST Global two years ago, and when she told me about it, I got interested. Last year, although I didn’t go to Mexico, I still worked on the robot, which took Bronze Prize in the competition. This year, I’m the part of Team Georgia and I’m very proud of it, and I hope we’ll improve last year’s results.”
Tekle Khmiadashvili is currently a junior at the Guivy Zaldastanishvili American Academy. Tekle had always been curious about STEM subjects and studied them with great interest and enthusiasm. She took part in many competitions. Student company Llampa, where Tekle was a cofounder, represented Georgia on the Company of the Year Competition in Lille, France. She participated in Hardware Hackathon with her team and deserved honorable mention. Tekle was also chosen as a camper at WiSci STEAM camp. For two years already, Tekle has been teaching logics and science at the Saturday School. She thinks that this activity really helps her to grow not only academically, but as a person too. Besides STEM, Tekle loves art and music. In her free time she paints or plays the piano. These activities really help her to think differently and synthetize various fields of study to get an creative and effective product.

“I am 16 years old. I am currently a junior and the president of my class. I like math and am interested in physics and philosophy. Actually I always liked projects, where I had to use both my creativity and logics. Therefore I have participated in several intellectual games. The FIRST Global Challenge is a very fascinating and exciting challenge for me.”
