From June 5th to 7th, our dedicated team proudly represented our sponsor, Tekwill Academy Kids, at the prestigious Moldova Digital Summit 2025. This event stands as the largest tech and digital gathering in our country, boasting an impressive lineup of over 100 speakers, 150 companies, and attracting more than 3,500 attendees. Participating in such a significant forum provided us with an unparalleled opportunity to broaden our influence and establish numerous valuable connections, including international collaborations with innovative companies from Romania, Georgia, Poland, and beyond.
A highlight of our presence was bringing our robot, Synchro, to the summit to demonstrate our work firsthand. On the first day, Synchro delighted guests by offering candies, making robotics both fun and interactive. Our robot proved to be a great conversation starter, drawing in people from diverse industries who were keen to learn about our team and our story.
Further enhancing our showcase, on the third day, we set up the official FTC fields. This allowed us to exhibit Synchro in action, attracting a steady stream of visitors to our pit. Attendees were eager to ask about our robot's capabilities, our journey as a team, our significant achievements, and our ambitious future goals.
The third day of the Summit also marked a particularly proud moment for our team: our talented programmer, Andries Cristian, had the distinct honor of serving as a speaker. He captivated an audience of hundreds as he shared our team's compelling story.
Our entire team sat in the front row, filled with immense pride as our colleague took the spotlight. Cristi eloquently recounted his personal journey within the team, emphasizing how STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) has positively impacted his life and shaped his path.
To conclude his powerful speech, he made it a point to ensure that every team member received recognition. He meticulously highlighted each person's unique contributions to our collective success and, in a heartwarming gesture, invited us all to join him on stage to share in the enthusiastic applause from the audience. It was a truly unifying and inspiring moment for everyone present.

During both of our days at the event, we were privileged to receive distinguished visitors at our pit. We had the profound honor of being visited by the Prime Minister of Moldova, Dorin Recean, and the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Economic Development and Digitalization, Doina Nistor.
We were delighted to serve them candies with the assistance of our robot, a gesture that brought smiles and demonstrated the practical application of our technology. We also had the special opportunity to offer the Prime Minister a significant gift from our team, and later, we met the Minister of Education, Dan Perciun.
We consider it a tremendous honor to interact with such influential politicians and public figures, especially as representatives of the generation of young innovators. These interactions underscore the importance of STEM education and the potential of youth in shaping our digital future.
Our participation in the Moldova Digital Summit 2025 was an invaluable experience, solidifying our commitment to innovation and inspiring us to reach even greater heights. We look forward to continuing our journey, pushing the boundaries of robotics, and inspiring the next generation of tech enthusiasts.
The highly anticipated and inspiring OpenMinds 2025 will be held on July 19 at the Tekwill Technology Center.
We are pleased to participate in "Maker Faire Chisinau," showcasing our work and engaging with professionals from various industries.
