For the fifth consecutive year, Trinidad and Tobago will be represented at the prestigious First Global Robotics Challenge. The Presentation College Chaguanas Robotics Team, comprising five students and two teachers, is set to compete in Panama City, Panama, from October 29 to November 1, 2025. This marks their fourth participation in the event, following their virtual debut in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The competition, which draws nearly 200 countries, challenges young innovators to design and program robots addressing real-world issues, with this year’s theme centered on ‘Eco Equilibrium.’ The team has already garnered accolades, including the Video and Storytelling Award, Helping Hands Award, Social Media Award, and a third-place finish in the joint alliance at the 2024 event in Athens, Greece. Teacher and adviser Tricia Singh revealed that the team has been tirelessly refining their robot, which simulates sustainable energy production and management, aligning with the competition’s focus on renewable solutions. For the first time, Presentation College has collaborated with St. Augustine Girls’ High School, supported by a network of local mentors, engineers, government officials, and educators. Singh emphasized that the project transcends competition, fostering collaboration and community spirit. As the team prepares for Panama, national pride is building, with supporters planning to watch the event live on the First Global YouTube channel. Regardless of the outcome, Trinidad and Tobago’s participation is celebrated as a significant step in promoting STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) enthusiasm nationwide.
