Dr. Adutwum described the achievement as a remarkable milestone for the school and Ghana’s growing focus on Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education, as contained in a statement he shared on his Facebook page.
According to him, the school’s rise from winning the Ghana Robofest National Championship to competing on the world stage within just five years of its establishment demonstrates the transformative potential of STEM education in Ghana.

Dr. Adutwum noted that supporting the team financially for the competition was personally fulfilling because of his strong belief in the importance of critical thinking, problem-solving and innovation in national development.
He congratulated the students, teachers, parents and the entire school community for making Ghana proud and proving that Ghanaian students could compete confidently with their peers globally. “This is only the beginning,” he emphasised.
