The Mbaracayu Educational Center (CEM) participated in the Paraguay Open Robotics technology event that took place on July 5 of this year.

This event is organized by the Los Laureles Educational Center and was sponsored by the National Secretary of Sports, the Ministry of Education and Science and Senatics and consists of two phases of participation: Exhibition and Competition.

The four CEM girls participated in two teams of two students each in the Exhibition mode. The works presented were:

  • Electronic stick to help people with visual disabilities based on the use of an Arduino board and distance sensors.
  • Robot garbage collector powered by a hydraulic system based on hypodermic syringes with water.

During the event, the Minister of Education, Eduardo Peta, who observed and interacted with the different teams in the showroom was present, being pleasantly surprised with the work shown there.

The event was held at the premises of the National Secretary of Sports, attending different schools throughout the country.

Finally, the Mbaracayu Educational Center received a mention as an Outstanding Institution, by the judges of the event, publishing the results on the Facebook fanpage of the Los Laureles Educational Center.
