Faten Khalfallah

The International FIRST Committee Association extended an invitation to Faten Hammouda, 2015 fellow of Tunisia, and her team of high school students to participate in the inaugural FIRST Global robotic “olympics.” The event will bring students from over 100 countries together in Washington, D.C., from July 16-18 and aims to cultivate an affinity for STEM in youth all over the world. With the intent to bring countries together through science, each team will develop their own robot to address one of the fourteen science and engineering challenges the organization has identified, which they will then present during the competition.
