The Robotics team of Vine Christian High School (VCHS) has emerged victorious at the Pan African Robotics Competition held on Sunday, 28 July, 2024 in Dakar, Senegal.

This prestigious competition, which draws top high school robotics teams from across the continent, witnessed the VCHS team securing first place with their innovative design and exceptional performance.

The Pan African Robotics Competition challenges teams to design, build, and program robots to complete complex tasks and compete in a series of trials. VCHS, who are also the Ghana Robotics Competition 2023 Champions, demonstrated extraordinary skill, creativity, and teamwork, earning the top spot among a field of highly competitive teams.

The competition featured about 400 top young minds from across 14 African countries including Mali, Uganda, Lesotho, Madagascar, Nigeria, and Cote d’Ivoire.

“Our students have put in several hours of hard work, dedication, and innovation to reach this milestone,” said Mr. Triumph Tetteh, Head of the Coding and Robotics Department at Vine Christian High School.

“Their success at this competition is a testament to their commitment and passion for robotics. We are incredibly proud of what they have accomplished.”

The team, which was made up of Miss Alexine Seiba Amoako-Mensah, and Masters Zachary Opoku, Joshua Sunkwa-Mills, and Joshua-Caleb Dadzie, used their diverse skills and a strategic approach to achieve their success.

This achievement highlights the growing excellence of VCHS in science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM) education and its commitment to fostering young innovators.

The school’s administration extends its congratulations to the team and expresses gratitude to the community and parents who have supported their journey.

VCHS celebrates this remarkable achievement, to the glory of God, and is excited about the future opportunities for its talented students.
