Team Barbados Gears Up for Global Robotics Challenge in Panama

Four young Barbadians are set to represent the island at the FIRST Global Robotics Challenge, an Olympic-style international competition that brings together high school students from around the world to test their skills in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). The annual event, which takes place this year in Panama from October 29 to November 1, challenges teams to design and program robots capable of performing a series of complex tasks.
