Why Prempeh College did not win the overall title at the Robofest in Michigan
Although the Prempeh College contingent won their category, the Ghana Robotics Academy Foundation Director explained why the overall winner emerged from Taiwan.
"A team from Taiwan won the championship. Even though three of Ghana’s nine teams performed very well, unfortunately, none of them won the overall championship, which is awarded to the winner of the GAME-SUPPLY CHAIN challenge," Dr. Yaw Okraku-Yirenkyi said.
The award-winning OLETHROS was one of the two teams that represented Prempeh College, as another group named JAK was in Michigan, USA, to compete in the championship.
