While Preparing and focusing to the next challenge, In this article we would like to look back our sweet experience with FIRST and How technonatura adopted and add the FIRST core values toward Technonatura
In 2017 by the request of American embassy in Jakarta, Madrasah Technonatura was invited and participated in FIRST Global Challenge 2017, in Washington DC, USA.
Themed around providing access to clean water, the inaugural event in Washington, D.C. brought together 157 countries and kicked off FIRST Global and our efforts to positively impact youth around the world through STEM education and opportunities.
Team Indonesia won a prestigious award of 'Engineering Innovation' Al Lahori Award in that event.
During the FGC event we were incredibly impressed with seeing and observing so many young adults having fun while doing a very constructive activity. we saw how well the teams do the design builds and practice with their robots. we saw teams in the pits constantly helping each other to improve each other.
In 2018 we participated FGC in Mexico city, Mexico.
Themed around the impact of energy, the second iteration of the event took place in Mexico City, with 186 countries participating in the 2018 season.
Team Indonesia won a prestigious award of Walt Disney award for imagination and creativity, FIRST Global Challenge 2018 Mexico City
Appreciating our achievement in FGC
2017, one company in Silicon Valley invited
us to visit Silicon Valley to see how ideas can
be developed into a good start up in proper ecosystem.
During that visit to Silicon Valley we also visited a number of high schools in Silicon valley and their robotics project and competition, we were happy to see they competed in different Robotic league i.e FTC and FRC, we are thrilled and it gave us idea later, when we were home, we then decided to enter this FTC and FRC competition to enhance the STEAM learning and leverage more to our students. Starting in 2018 We founded FIRST Tech Challenge and FIRST Robotics Competition teams.
In 2018 The Phinisi Voyagers 15060 FTC robotic team was established, the girls only robotic team, and they make a debut in Sydney 2018 by winning the Judge Award.
In 2019, the Java Knight 7719 was established, as a rookie team we enter the FRC event in Sydney in 2 regional the FRC Southern Cross Regional and FRC South Pacific Regional.
The Java Knights FRC team 7719 was awarded Rookie Inspiration award from National Instrument, at FRC Southern Cross Regional, Sydney 12th March 2019. The Rookie Inspiration Award sponsored by National Instruments celebrates a rookie team for outstanding success in advancing respect and appreciation for engineering and engineers, both within their school, as well as in their community.
A week later, at the same season, in FRC South Pacific Regional, team Java Knights also won a prestigious award of ‘Rookie All Star Award’ on March 17, 2019, Celebrates the rookie team exemplifying a young but strong partnership effort, as well as implementing the mission of FIRST to inspire students to learn more about science and technology
With the ‘Rookie All Star Award’, team Java Knights from Depok, Indonesia, got a ticket to compete in FRC World Championship robot competition, hosted by FIRST in April, 2019, Detroit, USA.
In 2019, TechnoNatura once again participated FGC2019 as Indonesian Team Representative in DUBAI UAE
With the theme of “Ocean Opportunities,” the third FIRST Global Challenge took place in Dubai, with 191 countries participating in the 2019 season.
In 2019 The Phinisi Voyagers 15060 FTC robotic team, the girls only robotic team, went to Sydney and nominated in Think Award.
in 2020 during covid the FGC was running With the theme of “Connecting Communities,” the fourth FIRST Global Challenge connected the FIRST Global Community around the world to learn, innovate, and make change together during the COVID-19 pandemic.
in 2021 during covid the FGC is run remotely, and a number of activities was carried out without facing the opponent. The fifth edition of the FIRST Global Challenge focused on advancing new ways STEM can provide practical solutions to pandemic-related problems youth and their communities face across the world. We have to provide the solution for a number of challenge and presented the solution via internet
This FGC2021 FIRST introduce a New Technology Experience as an annual component of the FIRST Global Challenge, is a means for the student community to stay current with cutting edge technology with launching Cubesat satelit as the challenge.
Team Indonesia has successfully launching its Cubesat Weather Satelite Prototype on Saturday 18 Sept 2021, at 12;50 midday
The Cubesat, a small instrument package is tied to a 1.2 meter wide balloon filled with helium to launch into the stratosphere. The Cubesat rises with a balloon at the speed of approximately 5 meters/second and hence it will need about two hours to reach the stratosphere. It will deploy several sensors to measure the weather variables, sensors on the Cubesat measure profiles of pressure, temperature, and relative humidity as well as the GPS, UV and light intensity reading
in 2022 after covid, team Javaknights 7719 went to FRC Istanbul and managed to get
- Imagery Award FIRST Robotic Competition, Turkey, Istanbul 2022
In 2022, Geneva served as a fitting convener for the sixth edition of the FIRST Global Challenge, uniting youth to come up with practical solutions to mitigate the negative effects of climate change.
