Robo- Builders : The story of winning




The team Robo-Builders won the Arab Champions award on the presentation they gave. In order to win this award the referees look at these specific points : Problem Identification - Sources of information - Problem Analysis- Review of existing solutions - team solution including (innovation -implementation & understanding) - Sharing (with multiple individuals\ groups & professionals) - creativity and presentation effectiveness. The team decided to make the presentation as a small sketch of "the doctors" show . They entered all wearing doctors' outfits along with the music of the doctors show. They then acted receiving a skype call asking about the problem pressure sores . The doctors gave a detailed definition of it and showed a video to illustrate more and used various visual aids to keep the judges attentive. When they finished their presentation the doctors were supposed to ask questions for only 5 minutes but with our team they took 12 minutes . The students were able to answer all the questions and prove for them that they worked hard and understand every single word of it. The judges then stood up for them and gave them a heavy clap . On the day of the results the judges had to pick 4 teams for a call back so that they present it in front of all the judges and teams and we were shocked that our team wasn't called . The team members were disappointed especially after they saw the low average of the teams chosen for the call back . We fought with the organizers issued a complain and no response was given for us. Other teams collaborated with us and issued complains as well a Saudi team quit the tournament - the Jordanian team sent their ministry representative to calm us down and all the Lebanese team supported us. When the results were coming we were cheering for a Lebanese team because they got a call back . We wanted a Lebanese team to win and the total shock was that they called our name to get the award . The robo-builders members were shocked stayed calm for about a minute until the Lebanese teams and Jordanian teams came to hug them and congratulate them. We got the cup not believing what happened until one of the judges came and told us " you didn't even need a call back to win it .. the award was yours from the beginning". Another Jordanian judge ran and congratulated us and told us that almost all the judges agreed that we should win and we did and she even asked us to participate in a science fair she organizes . Dear this is the story of winning .. this is the product of hard work ! Champions .. YES WE ARE

  1. Congratulation...
    Once a teacher told us that the best feeling in our life is the feeling of success after a hard work, we didn't know at that time what he was talking about, but now I can said that he was right, and am sure that your feeling was indescribable. Hoping that our students get further success, and one day be the reason of our development.
