The future looks bright for Philippine robotics.

Fresh from a double victory at the For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology (FIRST) Lego League (FLL) World Championship held in USA last April 2019, the Philippine Robotics National Team bagged another gold medal at the recent FLL European Open International Turkey 2019 last May 22 -26, 2019 in Izmir, Turkey.

The national delegation, represented this time by Kid Imagineers from Dr. Yanga’s College Inc., came home victorious after winning a Gold Award for Project Presentation and Finalist on Project Research. 82 teams from 41 countries and over 600 students (ages 11-17 years old) participated in the competition.

The theme, “Into Orbit”, challenged students to find solutions to physical and social problems associated with long-duration space flight.






The team won for Project Mu.S.C.A., an innovative, effective and systemized way of helping astronauts solve musculoskeletal problems they face during their stay in orbit. The suit gives a solution to different physical problems such as bone loss and loss of muscle mass in microgravity environment of space. Project Mu.S.C.A is a self-adjusting suit that can monitor the astronauts’ pulse rate, exercise their legs and arms, help them maintain proper posture in space, massage their arms and legs, help attain the right temperature for their body and protect astronauts from radiation.

The Kid Imagineers from Dr. Yanga’s College Inc. is composed of team members Gwyneth Sabusap, Aaron James Amar, Andrea Luz Guevarra, Daniella De Guzman, Annette Nicole Ambi, Nicole Flores, Shervie Dela Cruz, Gabriel Ortega, Michael Ronnie Estrella, Renz Daren Flaviano, with Assistant Coach RV Mendoza and Coach Romyr Gimeno.
