Also, in the Elementary Division (elementary school students), the directly managed school robot club selection course “Mynam” struggled on the first day, but did not give up until the end and showed a catch-up to 8th place on the second day of the competition, greatly increasing the rankings. I got the result of the 21th place in the final ranking.

Although they achieved good results on the world stage, they themselves had many regrets. However, I think that being able to prove that we can compete against the world’s top level in the international competition of WRO, one of the world’s largest robot contests, gave the children a lot of confidence. This frustrating feeling and self-confidence were obtained because I challenged myself.
