2025 WRO International Final at Singapore
Emma Vera ’27, Manesh Palai ’27, and Katharina Vogel ’27 stepped onto one of the world’s most competitive robotics stages to represent Puerto Rico at the 2025 World Robotics Olympiad International Final in Singapore, alongside more than 3,300 students from over 100 countries.
Their project, Modulink, a modular bus system designed to link and detach with other buses to streamline passenger pick-up, earned 7th place and a Gold medal in the Future Innovators Senior category, ranking among 70 international teams.
The project’s journey began with a 1st place finish at the Puerto Rico National Robot Olympiad in May, which secured its spot in the Singapore Final. A Silver Medal and a special award at the World Robotics Olympiad Open Championship Americas in Panama followed, recognizing Modulink for its alignment with the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Congratulations to Emma, Manesh, and Katharina on a remarkable international achievement. We are proud to see our students challenged to innovate, develop purpose-driven solutions, and represent both their work and their school with confidence on the world stage.
