Team Guyana Robotics has arrived in Korea to represent the country at the 2026 FIRST Global Challenge, with the young robotics team now preparing to compete against teams from more than 190 countries.

The team, participating through STEMGuyana and with support from other sponsors, arrived safely in Korea on Monday, October 5, with its robot and reported no major travel complications.

The international competition is being held in Incheon, Republic of Korea, from October 7 to 10, bringing together high-school-aged students from around the world for an Olympics-style robotics challenge. This year’s theme, “Igniting Innovation,” focuses on using robotics and technology to address challenges related to wildfire prevention, mitigation and recovery.
