Nearly 200 students gathered this Saturday for the ninth First Lego League at the Igualada-UdL University Campus, showcasing engineering skills and scientific innovation.

The competition featured 22 teams across two age categories. This year's theme, archaeology, required students to program robots to complete missions related to ancient history while fostering teamwork and problem-solving.

"It is a commitment to bring technology closer to children and awaken vocations."
