Nilesh Korgaonkar, CEO of ATLAB said: “The exceptional projects created by these innovators may not be
directly implemented, but they might inspire real-world solutions at an international level or adopted by
organisations or countries associated with FIRST®. This competition is a platform for students to showcase
their creativity, gain valuable experience and contribute to solving real-world problems. We are immensely
proud of all the participants and winners who seized this opportunity. To ensure high-quality evaluation, we
meticulously selected judges with expertise in STEM education and robotics.”

The teams were judged by esteemed professionals from different backgrounds, representing institutions,
universities and schools across the UAE from both governmental and private organisations. This year’s grand

and Machine Learning.

In line with the UAE’s vision to foster a knowledge-based economy and empower future generations,
initiatives like the FIRST® LEGO® League play a vital role in nurturing young innovators. By providing a
platform to showcase creativity, problem-solving, and teamwork, ATLAB reaffirms its commitment to
