A delegation of 22 Paraguayan students took second place at the 2026 VEX Robotics World Championship, a tournament recognized by Guinness World Records as the largest robotics competition on Earth.
This year's edition brought together more than 3,000 teams and over 30,000 participants from across multiple continents. The achievement puts the country in the spotlight of international educational robotics.
The young competitors went head-to-head on equal terms with the world's leading powers in the field, in a result considered historic for Paraguay.
Without a doubt, this is an unprecedented accomplishment on the international stage. After years of watching major scientific advances from a distance, the country has officially entered the elite of educational robotics.
