The Moroccan robotics team “Robotics For Future” from the 11 Janvier High School in Moulay Yacoub has won first place at the World Robotics Championship at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI).
The event took place in Massachusetts, United States, with the participation of 108 teams from across the world.
The Moroccan team was recognized in the Robot Performance category, according to a statement from the Ministry of Education.
“Throughout the competition, the team delivered an outstanding performance, further distinguished by the selection of their innovative project as one of the best at the championship,” added the statement.
It noted that the team showcased their project on the main stage in front of all participants.
This marks Robotics For Future’s second win at the championship, having earned the same title last year. This victory is “the result of months of dedicated work and ambition,” says the ministry.
Meanwhile, the Moulay Yacoub province says this international recognition reflects the progress being made in the fields of education and innovation, as well as the strong support provided to young talents and local initiatives.
The province added that it has helped the team take part in national and international competitions and supported the creation of a special robotics space.
This space was built for the team for MAD 271,750, as part of a program that supports youth development. A new innovative project is also planned for 2025.
The upcoming project aims to boost creativity and develop digital and technical skills in robotics and programming. It is a partnership between the Provincial Human Development Committee, the Ministry of Education’s local office, and the Matrix Association for education and cultural development.
The project, launched on the 20th anniversary of the National Initiative for Human Development (INDH), will benefit over 4,000 students in the province and has a total budget of MAD 600,000.
