Lituanica X achieved another first – this time, on the TEDx stage! Julius Augustaitis passionately narrated our team's story during TEDxYouth@VIS in April. We are thrilled to finally share video of his talk with the world. Julius illuminated the enduring motivation behind our remarkable 6-year journey, and our robot played a big role on the stage too. Bravo, Julius! Let's applaud Vilnius International School for orchestrating this incredible event!
We are Team Lithuania!

While our desire for medals is undeniable, we also recognize that the journey and knowledge gained during the pursuit of excellence hold greater significance than the mere luster of those medals. In this instance, the coveted gold at the FIRST Global Challenge was claimed by teams from China, Eritrea, Vietnam, and a remarkable "Hope" team, comprised of refugees residing in various nations.
Lituanica X Singapore squad wrote another noteworthy chapter in Lithuanian robotics history! What's more, a delightful surprise awaited them as they were awarded with a special Social media award, acknowledging their exceptional contribution to the promotion of robotics!

(2023-09-02)
Lituanica X members, Dainius Užusenis and Rokas Kirdulis, had their own moment in the spotlight at the International Community Festival "Vilnius is my City." This presented yet another fantastic opportunity to underscore the significance of robotics and the importance of engaging young minds in creative and STEM-related pursuits. Did you know that Vilnius, the vibrant capital of Lithuania, is a city where 1 in every 10 residents hails from a different corner of the world? We hope this diversity will spark more ideas, innovations and inventions! And we believe that Lituanica X will be important part of this process!
As part of preparation for FIRST Global, Lituanica X had an exceptional meeting with one of Lithuania's most prominent officials – Viktorija Čmilytė-Nielsen, the Speaker of the Seimas (Lithuanian Parliament). It is truly inspiring to witness the genuine enthusiasm displayed by the nation's top politician towards matters of education and STEM.
