Let’s talk about FCIT for a moment. The Team GATO (Mohammad Ibraheem QureshiMuhammad Subhan) secured first position in Speed Programming, where first and second runner up teams were from Sundar STEM School.

Our student Abdullah Khalid and his squad delivered a performance that reads like a wishlist:

🥈 Sumo Robot (1st Runner Up)
🥈 Line Following Robot (1st Runner Up)
