The school then made their debut at the International Robotics Competition in Putrajaya in February last year and unexpectedly bagged the runners-up prize. On Oct 20, it made the country proud after winning a gold medal at the “The Maker Robot Festival”, a robotics competition which attracted participants from around the world in Ulsan, South Korea. SK Seri Terentang Robotics Club adviser Mazlan Muhamad Yusof said the experience was an amazing journey, especially as the school exposed the pupils to robotics and programming only last year. On their next competition, Mazlan said the team would travel to Guangzhou, China, next month to compete in the 2019 MakeX Starter City Guardian competition. He said the school’s team was picked to represent Malaysia after winning gold at the MakeX Malaysia Robotics Competition, which was held in Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia in Bangi on Oct 12 and 13.
