At the World Robot Olympiad (WRO) international final, held Nov. 8-10 in Hungary, sixth graders Aidan Okyar and Mikhil Kiran and their teammate achieved perfect scores in a competition to design a SMART city. The team’s final ranking, including its robots’ mission completion times, was 22nd out of 92 teams in the Regular Elementary category, which made the trio the highest-ranking team from the United States across every age group. Congratulations!

Okyar and Kiran qualified for the international final in September at the WRO national final in Sunnyvale.
