Nizamiye learners sweep gold at UK robotics competition
Representing South Africa, and Nizamiye Primary and High School, in the robotics category at the iWise and Xpert International Competition, Muhommed Ali Naeem Mahomed, Maroof Ali Sayed, and Muaaz Ali Sayed competed against more than 300 participants from over 20 countries and emerged with outstanding achievements.
Three brilliant learners from Nizamiye Primary and High School have brought home top honours from the iWise and Xpert International Competition, held at the University of Surrey in the United Kingdom in early August.
Muhommed Ali Naeem Mahomed in Grade 10, Maroof Ali Sayed in Grade 9, and Muaaz Ali Sayed in Grade 8 proudly represented South Africa, and their school, in the robotics category of this prestigious event.
Competing against more than 300 participants from over 20 countries, they showcased exceptional skill, innovation, and teamwork.
After months of intense preparation – often staying at school until late evenings and sacrificing weekends – their efforts paid off spectacularly. All three learners earned gold medals for their work, with Maroof Ali and Muaaz Ali further distinguishing themselves by placing in the top 3 worldwide in their category.
“This was a remarkable journey,” said Muhommed Ali, “and I would encourage others to take part in these types of events.”
The competition not only tested technical expertise; it brought together young innovators from diverse cultural backgrounds. Between events, the learners explored some of the United Kingdom’s most iconic tourist attractions, adding memorable experiences to their academic triumphs.
The iWise and Xpert International Competition remains a premier global platform for young minds to unleash creativity, solve real-world challenges, and connect with like-minded visionaries.
