This helped to develop their thinking and design skills, which will undoubtedly come in handy in their future endeavors.
Participants of various age groups, ranging from 8 and 9-year-olds in basic education to high school students, including those at the beginning of their secondary studies and those preparing for their baccalaureate, enthusiastically took part in the game.
After an intense competition, the International School of Luxembourg (ISL) emerged as the winner, having created a robot that performed exceptionally well. The Vauban Lyceum team came in a close second, with their robot demonstrating impressive capabilities as well. Code Club Luxembourg rounded out the top three with a well-deserved bronze medal.
Overall, the Luxembourg Youth Robotics Challenge was a great success, showcasing the creativity and talent of the participating students. By providing a platform for them to hone their skills and collaborate with others, the competition undoubtedly helped to inspire the next generation of innovators and problem-solvers.
