πŸ€–πŸ† What an incredible achievement for Old Airport Ridge School! πŸ†πŸ€–

On Saturday, 25th July 2026, our Robotics Club competed in the 2026 Ghana Robotics Academy Foundation National Robotics Competition (RiSE) at the University of Ghana, Legonβ€”and what an unforgettable day it was!

Competing against 31 teams from across Ghana, our three teams achieved outstanding results:

πŸ₯ˆ Cassia Tech – 2nd Place
πŸ₯‰ Sunflower Tech – 3rd Place
πŸ… Frehsh Girls – 6th Place

To have all three of our teams finish in the top six is an extraordinary accomplishment.

What makes this achievement even more remarkable is that our girls have only been involved in robotics for just one year and two of our girls are in primary 6!!. Their dedication, teamwork, creativity, and determination have produced results far beyond expectations.

We are incredibly proud of every student, our robotics coach, our supporting teachers, and our parents for believing in this journey and supporting these young innovators every step of the way.

This is just the beginning. These talented girls have shown that with hard work, opportunity, and perseverance, they can compete with the very best in Ghana.

Congratulations to Cassia Tech, Sunflower Tech, and Frehsh Girlsβ€”you have made the entire Old Airport Ridge School family immensely proud! πŸ’šπŸ€
