After hosting a successful summer of coding and engineering innovation at the TechByte Robotics Camp, DadliBots is proud to announce that two student-led national robotics teams 
\u2013 EcoBits and EcoBots \u2013 are now competing head-to-head for a chance to represent Antigua and Barbuda at the FIRST<\/em> Global Robotics Challenge (FGC) 2025, taking place from October 29 to November 1 in Panama, under the theme \u201cEco Equilibrium.\u201d<\/em><\/strong>
<\/em><\/strong>
Each year, FIRST<\/em> Global organizes an annual, olympic-style international robotics event, where teams 
of high school students from around the world come together to learn how they can utilize science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education to address the world\u2019s most pressing issues, such as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)<\/strong> that can improve the quality of life for all.

More than 190 countries have participated annually since 2017 at this prestigious event and for 2025, 
it will focus on balancing national development and biodiversity. Thereby inspiring young students to collaborate innovatively with technology to nurture a thriving planet for generations to come.

\u201cSTEM education is a vital driver of national development,<\/em><\/strong>said Ms. Andie Stephen, DadliBots mentor. \u201cBy equipping our youth <\/em><\/strong>TODAY <\/em><\/strong>with the <\/em><\/strong>technology <\/em><\/strong>skills <\/em><\/strong>necessary for a <\/em><\/strong>brighter FUTURE<\/em><\/strong>, we\u2019re preparing the nation to thrive in a world powered by <\/em><\/strong>science and sustainability<\/em><\/strong>.\u201d<\/em><\/strong>
<\/em><\/strong>
Robotics is not only an educational pursuit but also a growing global sport<\/strong>, inspiring youth to think critically, collaborate, and solve real-world problems.

From team highlights to behind-the-scenes moments, follow the students one their journey to represent Antigua and Barbuda in Panama: @dadlibots<\/strong>
