GubeX Enterprise, a team of the students from our school, participated, for the fifth time in a row, in the national finals of the First Lego League robotics competition held on April 23rd at Zagreb's Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing. The team with the MYP 2 student Mark M. was 3rd best in the tournament.

This year's theme of the competition was "Cargo Connect" that focused on transportation, exploring the technological advancements and global challenges that face humanity, and along with programming the robot the students had to solve a problem our world faces, similar to the community project. Our students were solving problems regarding drones and ways how to reduce the noise they produce. They collaborated with drone manufacturers and the Acoustic Lab at the Zagreb's Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing. All the effort has paid off as the GubeX Enterprise was best in two categories – Robot Design and Core Values and won 3rd place in the tournament, which was enough to qualify to the regional finals in Slovenia that will be held on May 14th in Ljubljana. Congratulations!!!

We are especially proud of the mentor of the Lego Bears team that won second place in this competition, Dino R. - our former student and member of the GubeX Enterprise team (participated in the 2019 World Cup in Lebanon) who launched the entire robotics program in his high school and now as a third grade student successfully leads a robotics team.
