01 / THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE MACHINEINDEPENDENT BY DESIGN

A garage.
A shared obsession.
A world of possibility.

We don’t wait for the future.
We get together and build it.

Founded in Dubai in 2024, CROWN brings together ten students from four different schools. Our robotics lab is a home garage. Our resources, project plans and competition participation? Managed by us.

Our proposal describes CROWN as the UAE’s only fully student-led FTC team. Sponsors, mentors and our community make that independence possible.

Our alumni have earned acceptances to Virginia Tech, Georgia Tech and the University of Waterloo. The skills we build here go far beyond the competition field.

FIRST® TECH CHALLENGE

A sport for the mind.

Students aged 12–18 work in teams of up to 15 to design, build and code robots for a season-long engineering challenge. FIRST stands for For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology — a youth nonprofit advancing STEM through the energy of competition.

Our proposal describes a worldwide community of more than 30,000 teams and highlights recognition from universities including MIT, Harvard and Yale.
