Hogar del Niño students shine in the FIRST LEGO League 2025

With pride and excitement, Hogar del Niño celebrates the outstanding performance of its students in the prestigious international educational robotics competition, FIRST LEGO League (FLL) 2025, organized by the Ministry of Education of the Dominican Republic (Minerd) and the Foundation for the Development of Science and Technology (Fundecitec).

Our teams, TechnoKids and Synergy, stood out among more than 1,300 students nationwide, showcasing creativity, teamwork, and a strong passion for innovation. The TechnoKids team was awarded the Explore Showcase prize, while Synergy earned third place in Robot Design in the Challenge category, reaffirming Hogar del Niño’s commitment to STEAM education and the development of 21st-century skills.

As recognition for their effort, the students were invited to a national gathering with the Minister of Education, alongside other outstanding teams from across the country. At this emotional event, they shared their experiences with their families, received motivational words from the Minister, and each team member was gifted a laptop, a tangible acknowledgment of their talent, discipline, and enthusiasm.

In addition, some of our students participated in a special interview on Radio Educativa Dominicana, where they shared their learnings, ideas, and dreams serving as inspiration for children and youth across the country.

The 2025 edition of FLL is themed “Submerged”, a challenge that encourages exploration of the underwater world and promotes ocean conservation. Our students embraced this mission with creativity and ingenuity, designing solutions to protect marine life and raise awareness about caring for the planet.

This achievement represents far more than just an award, it reflects the powerful impact that comprehensive education and continuous support can have in the lives of our children and youth.

At Hogar del Niño, we continue to invest in the future with purpose, innovation, and hope. 💡🌊🤖
