More support should be given to nurture students who are interested in robot technology, said supervising teachers of students who participated in the Brunei Robotic Olympiad. The teachers said that Bruneian students had a lot of potential to do better on an international level. Norazura Hj Ali, a teacher from Kiarong Primary School, a school that won third place in the Base Runner category, said the students had a long way to go before they can make it to international competitions. “From what I’ve seen today, this is only the beginning because they have only learnt the skills in the past two months.” The teacher proposed more facilities to promote the students’ talents. “There are workshops for teachers so there is nothing wrong with giving workshops to students too,” she said. Norazura added that school clubs can be introduced to get more students to participate. “There are actually more kids who want to join the robotic competition but there wasn’t enough time in the selection process,” she said. Abdul Mahadir Hj Abdul Hamid, a computer teacher from Paduka Seri Begawan Sultan Science College, said the students’ ideas get more creative every year.
