Bangladesh students win 11 medals at International Robot Olympiad
Country has accumulated 94 medals over eight years, including 15 gold medals, since it began participating in global contest in 2018
DHAKA, Bangladesh (MNTV) — Students from Bangladesh have won 11 medals at the 27th edition of the International Robot Olympiad, marking another strong international showing for the country’s emerging robotics and technology talent.
The competition was held from December 17 to 20 at the Mantra Southport Sharks Convention Centre in Gold Coast, bringing together school and college-level participants from dozens of countries to compete across creative robotics, physical computing and technology-driven storytelling categories. Medals were presented at the closing ceremony on Sunday.
Bangladesh’s medal tally included one gold medal, six bronze medals and four technical awards. The gold medal came in the Creative Category (Senior Group), won by Mohammad Abdullah Al Titu, a student of Ananda Mohan College in the northern city of Mymensingh. Judges praised the project for originality, technical execution and problem-solving approach.
Six bronze medals were secured across multiple categories, including Creative Movie and Physical Computing divisions, reflecting consistent performance by Bangladeshi students in both hardware-based engineering challenges and creative technology formats.
The bronze winners represented a range of educational institutions, from public colleges to private schools, highlighting the breadth of participation within the country’s robotics ecosystem.
Four additional technical medals were awarded for excellence in design, coding and implementation, further strengthening Bangladesh’s overall standing at the Olympiad. Participants receiving these awards competed in senior-level categories that required advanced computational thinking and integrated engineering skills.
Bangladesh’s delegation to the Olympiad consisted of 10 students, selected through a multi-stage national process. The initial online selection round, followed by an in-person national competition in Dhaka, narrowed the field before finalists underwent further evaluation to form the national team.
The selection program was organized by the Bangladesh Open Source Network, with institutional backing from the government’s ICT Division and the Department of ICT.
Officials from Bangladesh’s technology administration publicly congratulated the team, describing the results as a reflection of sustained investment in science, technology, engineering and mathematics education.
The country has participated in the International Robot Olympiad since 2018 and has now accumulated 94 medals over eight years, including 15 gold medals.
Education analysts note that such performances signal Bangladesh’s growing capacity to nurture globally competitive digital skills at the school and college level, as countries increasingly view robotics and computing as core pillars of future economic growth.
