Kazakhstan makes top four at FIRST Global Challenge

Kazakhstan’s national team has secured a place among the world’s top four teams in robotics. At the FIRST Global Challenge in Incheon, South Korea, the school students won all 11 qualifying matches to advance to the playoffs. Teams from 185 countries took part in the competition. This year, participants were challenged to develop robots to fight forest fires. They had to design, build and program machines capable of carrying out tasks to prevent and extinguish fires. Particular emphasis was placed on both the students’ engineering skills and their ability to work as a team.
