Three Naga Pupils to Compete in International Robot Olympiad

Three young pupils of the City of Naga Elementary School made it to the World Robot Olympiad in Sochi, Russia on November this year after successfully bagging the third prize in the recently-concluded 13th Philippine Robotics Olympiad.

Wince dela Fuente, Marl Louize B. Canomon and Francis Lloyd Pansaon of the City of Naga Elementary School accompanied by their principal Nenita Canomon on Monday paid a courtesy call before City of Naga Mayor Valdemar Chiong.

At least 36 countries are expected to participate and compete in this year’s international robotics competition to be held in Russia from November 19 to 25.

The City of Naga Elementary School was among the more than 400 public and private elementary and high schools which submitted entries in the 13th Philippine Robotics Olympiad, an annual competition organized by FELTA Multi-Media Inc., in partnership with the Science Education Institute, Department of Science and Technology and the Department of Education.

The event aims to provide an opportunity for students to learn the latest trends in the field of robotics.

For his part, Chiong assured financial support to the two “techie warriors” when they will compete in Russia later this year.
