The FIRST Tech Challenge BIOBUZZ™ season has officially launched in Moldova

On September 12, the National Center for Digital Innovation in Education – Future Classroom Lab hosted the national kickoff event for the new FIRST Tech Challenge educational robotics season – BIOBUZZ™ presented by RTX, part of the FIRST® CANOPY™ season.

The event brought together more than 150 mentors, students, and volunteers from robotics teams across Moldova, who took part in the official game reveal, livestreamed by FIRST Tech Challenge internationally.

This season challenges teams to apply engineering thinking and creativity to explore and celebrate the beauty of the natural world, through the new scoring element – Pollen.

Through events like this, Future Classroom Lab continues to support the development of STEM skills among young people in Moldova and to strengthen an active community of mentors and volunteers dedicated to robotics education.

We thank all participants and wish every Moldovan team success in the new competitive season!
