An all-girls robotics team that is representing Ghana at the World Robotics Competition which was held in Michigan – U.S, came first in the senior division.

From the Methodists Girl’s High School (MEGHIS) at Mamfe Akuapem in the Eastern Region, these girls represented Ghana at the world and won the competition at the 2019 WORLD ROBOFEST Competition in U.S.

Other teams in the competition from U.S, Mexico, South Korea and other countries in the competition, team Acrobot from MEGHIS managed to beat these teams and won the 20th edition of the competition in US.

The team consisting of nine female students that are from Methodist Girl’s High (Mamfe Akuapem) earlier won the preliminary contests in Ghana. This competition in Ghana was held for all the top Senior High Schools in the country.
