In our first year competing in the MakeX National Robotics Competition, our young innovators showcased extraordinary engineering, coding, and teamwork. Their perseverance, late-night debugging, and passion for robotics were unmatched—and the results speak for themselves!
⏱️ Over 100 hours of preparation
♻️ 5 kg of 3D printing waste prototyped
💻 10,000+ lines of code per project!
🌟 Kids Behind the Success
These achievements weren’t the work of a few—it was the result of true collaborative spirit. Our wider team of students brought energy, creativity, and resilience to every moment of the journey:
Elie Harb, Edy Harb, Yasmina Khoury, Lucas Dagher, Elie Rizk, Jean Paul Semaan, Marcelino Bitar, Yoan Naddaf, Jason Bou Abboud, Charbel Rizk — each of you contributed something invaluable.
🍎 Celebrating Our Youngest Innovators (Ages 4–7)
🍎 For the first time, our youngest Futurebots students (ages 4–7) participated in the MakeX Inspire – Fruit Wonderland challenge!
Although we didn’t secure any placements this year, we are extremely proud of our little innovators who explored robotics, teamwork, and creativity with great enthusiasm and joy! 💡🤖
🌱 It’s just the beginning for these future engineers — and what matters most is the learning journey they’re on. We’re excited to watch them grow and come back stronger next year!
A heartfelt thank you to the parents for believing in their kids and supporting them through this new adventure. ❤️
