On December 16 and 17, the world final of the World Educational Robot Contest -WER- was held with the participation of 494 teams of High School and University categories from Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea, Macau, Singapore, Philippines, China and Mexico. 

Three teams of SABES high school:

• Tesla from the SABES 18 March High School
• Bluebot from the SABES Noria de Mosqueda
• Cheems from the SABES La Campana High School

The three teams participated in this world competition that has the purpose of stimulating intellectual development, competitiveness, and a current globalized vision to encourage teamwork, increase the sense of honor and duty, and of course tests the competitors’ abilities to solve problems with the knowledge acquired.

The Tesla team made up of Kevin Efrain Rodriguez Silva, Fernando Amado Arriaga Lara, Rafael Vázquez Rojas and advisor Hector Flores Guevara from the SABES 18 March High School, achieved first place in the WER Educational Robotics Tournament at the national level last November , which gave them their pass to the world phase of this tournament where they not only had an excellent participation but were awarded the “Inspiration Award”, a recognition that is awarded to a single team in the entire competition for being considered an example of inspiration for the rest of the teams and future participants. 

To define the recipient of this award, each country provides information about its teams participating in the World Cup and subsequently the WER Global organizing committee, headed by Dr. Jake Mendelssohn, selects the winner based on their qualities. 

Resilience was mentioned as the main value they found in the Tesla Team of the SABES, and they through robotics and WER found motivation to continue with their academic studies and their development in global competition.
