Nov 16th, 2024 | Category: GOODHEART | 14:57#JamaicaGleaner Reach Academy’s robotics team, ‘The Crud Busters’, has achieved a historic milestone by earning first place in the Innovators section at the World Robot Olympiad (WRO) held this year in Brescia, Italy. Competing against 47 countries, including formidable teams from Canada, Germany, and Croatia, our young champions have proven that innovation, teamwork, and determination know no boundaries. The team, composed of three talented students– Jaxen Mitchell (age 11), Jacob Wong (age 10), and Gia Whyms-Stone (age 9), and guided by their exceptional coach, Krystan Hunter, entered the worldstage for the first time and took the competition by storm. Their invention, a robot designed to clean the hulls of ships, reduces drag and minimises environmental harm, showcasing their remarkable creativity and commitment
