Team Nigeria
“Every person in a team is a vector. The progress of the team is determined by the sum of all the vectors”- Elon Musk.
Team Nigeria has not failed to recognize the essence of this quote. As such, our team is comprised of innovative, resourceful, proactive, independent, smart, creative and inventive leaders that come from different backgrounds but are all connected through the passion that drives us; that is our passion for STEM. This fuels us on the journey to carry out our ultimate goal. A combination of 15 members comprising of students, coaches and mentors, Team Nigeria displays an impressive capability of problem solving and creative innovation. The word that best describes us is DYNAMIC. We are full of energy and new ideas, which would help us to progress in the competition and in our everyday life.
WHAT IS OUR ULTIMATE GOAL?
For reasons beyond our control, Nigeria has for long been associated with negatives. The good has been foreshadowed by the bad. We want to represent our country and improve its image showing forth its outstanding qualities, its unity in diversity, and its unforeseen creativity and making a permanent mark in the Technological field. We dream of a nigeria where there is a sense of cooperation, a time where every citizen of our nation has a standard knowledge of what STEM is and how it can be used to develop our nation at large, a time where we can work together with other nations to make decisions on issues that affect or will affect us and to find a way to solve these problems. We are dreamers of the day and so we have begun to act out our dreams.
We identify and overcome challenges, excelling as a team, learning from one another while expanding each other’s minds farther than our individual thinking process. We believe seeing things from a different point of view would help give a vast understanding of the project at hand. We draw strength from each other through perseverance, patience, tolerance, hard work and cooperation. We believe that no idea is a bad idea and we welcome the opinions of all our team members. We never give up. When we encounter obstacles that prevent us from achieving our goals we will go back to the drawing board, fish out our mistakes and correct them.
We see every challenge as an opportunity to have fun, learn and bond with one another. We realize that when one wins, all win.

It was the time we had all been waiting for
Dressed in black and gold robes
Today we open a new door
As system engineers we make our mark on the globe
But as soon as it began, it ended
I woke up in my dorm
In the boarding school I attended
Plain was the norm
An artistic genius with a dream
Little she could do in that prison
Finally broken free like a loose seam
An explorer with reason
And with the collaboration of a few others
She can pave the way beyond borders.
Anyigbo Tochukwu
Programming Team
Stuck in the middle in a family of seven
This adorable girl has experienced a lot
Her daily walk is all to make heaven
She is a friend to all sorts
She is very curious
Most fascinated by Physics
She is very studious
She goes beyond the basics.
She is optimistic
And realistic
Not problematic
But diplomatic.

Daberechi
Building Team
A girl with a unique personality
The youngest of them all
In reality
She will pick you up when you fall
She is honest to a fault
Though a silent noisemaker
And she is not one to insult
Because she is a basketballer
Orderly and observant
She will get you what you need
Also very pleasant
A quiet thinker indeed

Tani,
A comical character,
A unique personality,
An easy adapter,
Jokes are his specialty.
He loves to play chess,
Capable of creating a mess,
He thinks his funny,
But surely cute as a bunny.
He's very merry,
Sometimes even cheery,
Never scary,
Why would he be with a nickname like Jerry.

Michael
Building Team
Michael sat in front of the TV screen
Moving with Luke skywalker
Like the wind, unforeseen
And in the night he had a dream
That he built the greatest robot ever seen
Growing up, he developed a passion
For science, basketball and shoe fashion
A quiet individual
With diverse capabilities
Not the usual
He is driven by a strong desire
To impact lives positively
To spark a fire
In the area of science and technology
He wants to be an inspiration to all that hear his story
And for the world to live in peace and harmony

On valentines day in 2003
Allan Bifom was born
Built like a tree,
Loud as a horn,
Almost six feet tall
And light in complexion
He is friendly to all
And to most an inspiration
He has a knack for programming
And has a funny nickname
He is understanding
Or so he claims
He likes a good movie
Coupled with ice cream
When listening to music he gets a little groovy
Designing a software is a part of His dreams
