Our own Philippine Robotics Team is spearheaded by the students of Grace Christian College which won the top spot during the National Robotics Competition 2014 last January. Students from different schools like Colegio De San Juan De Letran College – Calamba, St. Theodore School, and Pasig Community School are also part of the National team. During the press conference, it was mentioned that about 40 Filipino participants are expected to be flown to China for the competition.
Other school teams are still on the process of being selected to be part of the delegation. Interested schools may send a Letter of Intent to the Data Science and Technology Corporation (DSTC) where they will gladly help and guide them through the process.
