Μία από τις καλύτερες ομάδες του Κόσμου | FLL World Festival 2024 Houston USA | Tsiamoulis Robotics Team
Core Values Award - Στις 10 Καλύτερες ομάδες του κόσμου
On Sunday morning, we started exploring the city. We walked the wide streets, visited the Toyota Center, and tried local flavors to relax after the long journey. In the afternoon, we returned to the hotel for our first rehearsal, full of energy and anticipation for the competition.
The third day found us at the Museum Center, a place full of surprises. From the age of the dinosaurs to ancient Egypt, our kids were mesmerized by the exhibits. The science experiments thrilled us, and we felt we never wanted to leave. We ended the day with a visit to the city’s largest mall and, of course, another rehearsal at the hotel.
The fourth day was equally impressive. We visited NASA’s Space Center, saw the Saturn V rocket up close, and experienced the space shuttle. In the evening, our team had a rehearsal that showed just how ready we were for the big things to come.
The fifth day, the first day of the competition, was full of emotions. The Convention Center was huge, hosting thousands of kids from all over the world. We danced and sang with teams from every corner of the planet, presented our technological innovations, and brought our traditions closer. The day flowed with rehearsals and preparations for the big competition.
The fifth and sixth days were crucial. Our kids presented their project with such passion that they amazed the judges, earning the highest scores. They impressed with their teamwork, achieving perfect scores there as well. Their robot design presentation also garnered excellent ratings. The robot games kept us on edge, with mishaps and disappointments, but our team never gave up. In the last game, everything went as we had dreamed – wild celebrations and tears of joy filled the hall. The competition members called us the phenomenon team!
Saturday was the day of the results. The final games were impressive, and the closing ceremony left us speechless. When we heard the name Tsiamoulis announced for the Core Values award, the emotion was indescribable. Greece wins another award in a global competition, and this moment will be etched in our hearts forever.
After an enchanting journey, we returned to Greece full of experiences and dreams for the future. The reception at our school on Monday morning was moving, with our classmates welcoming us enthusiastically. The legacy these children leave and the goals for the future are grand. Our team does not stop here – the next goal is first place in the world!
We sincerely thank our school and especially Mr. Ioannis Tsiamoulis for his unwavering support all these years! We also thank the sponsors and parents who stood by us every step of this great effort. This experience was just the beginning, and our future holds even more successes and emotions.
