The event was organised by the Union Ministry of Culture in collaboration with the India STEM Foundation.With this exceptional performance Cathlin (Class VII) and Clare (Class IV) are qualified to represent the country at the World Robotics Olympiad in Turkey this November, competing in the future innovators category.
The siblings’ award-winning invention, ‘Rescue Clean Rovers’, autonomous robots designed for flood rescue and post-disaster clean-up, secured them a cash prize of ₹1,00,000 and the opportunity to showcase their innovation on the global stage at the world’s largest robotics exhibition.
