The two, Kofi from Prempeh College in Kumasi and Benedict Amoako, from Presec Boys’ Senior High School in Accra were selected to represent Ghana after emerging winners of the ROBOGOLF challenge, a robotics competition put together by the Ghana Robotics Academy Foundation.

The team is currently at the Lawrence Technological University to face competition from USA, Canada, China, Columbia, Egypt, Hong Kong, India, Korea, Mexico, and South Africa.
