An IEEE Canadian Foundation Sponsored team.

On the 14th of May, we participated in the Team 4617 sponsorship dinner for the University of Western Ontario FIRST Robotics group. The group was sponsored in part by the IEEE Canadian foundation (ICF) for a special grant of an amount of $1250. The group was able to achieve impressive results in the competitions they took part in. They successfully built a working robot which weighed approximately 90lbs. They were able to compete in two regional competitions in Waterloo and Windsor. At the Waterloo competition, they won the Judge’s Award, which praised their team for their perseverance, empowerment, and teamwork.
The ICF support comes as part of its continuous support for innovation and encouragement for young engineers-to-be. The ICF was represented at the dinner by IEEE Young professionals London Chair Mohamed Abu Sharkh.
