Students from seven area high schools will square off this month in the Minds Inspired Robotics FIRST Tech Challenge interschool tournament, at the Arts & Recreation Centre.
Over 40 students representing six Cayman Islands high schools have embarked on a challenge to consider the key economic, social and environmental issues in their communities and propose ideas for solutions aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Some of the brightest young minds in the Cayman Islands gathered to demonstrate their problem-solving prowess as they competed in the 11th annual Minds Inspired Maths Challenge last week.
Held at the University College of the Cayman Islands, from 16-17 November, the event brought together a total of 175 high school students from 10 public and private schools in Grand Cayman and Cayman Brac.
The Cayman Islands national robotics team recently competed at the 2023 FIRST Global Challenge in Singapore. Team manager Glenda McTaggart gave Camana Bay Times the inside scoop.
The Cayman Islands National Robotics Team returned home ranked 89th (out of 191 teams) after travelling to Singapore for the 2023 FIRST Global Challenge in early October. FIRST, or For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology, is a global organisation focussed on inspiring young people to become science and technology leaders and innovators. Joining the programme in 2018, previous Cayman National Robotics Teams competed in Mexico, Dubai and Switzerland.
The Cayman Islands National Robotic Team is joining teams from 190 countries at the 2023 FIRST Global Challenge, in Singapore, October 7-10. There they will reimagine the future of energy and the ways in which we power our planet. The Cayman Islands National Robotic Team (the team) will collaborate with thousands of students to highlight the importance of renewable energy and its potential to create a better, more sustainable future.
