Dominica State College Students to Participate in the 2019 FIRST Global Challenge in Dubai

Within two months, five students from the Dominica State College Robotic Team, namely Krish Sharma, Kodie Jean- Jacques, Briana Laudat, Kieyah Lawrence and Charleson Gilbert used their creativity to engineer a robot to compete in the FIRST Global Challenge which will be held in Dubai from October 24-27. Their robot is capable of collecting and delivering objects, lifting itself and it is mobile. Their participation in the FIRST Global Challenge serves as a reminder of the real-world challenges related to cleaning up the world’s oceans.

The FIRST Global Challenge aims to address the world’s most critical environmental issues such as wastage of water and energy, sustainability, and pollution through a Global Robotics Competition. This annual competition seeks to encourage and empower youth with a passion for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). The event will assemble more than one thousand five hundred youth from over one hundred and ninety-one countries to collaborate, create and compete for a better future.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy.
