Indonesian Students are Recognized
Congratulations to the K-12 Participants of the Teach MiRo K-12 GIFT Challenge!
Three students from a rural region of Indonesia created new food inventions, which they will present at the Jan 17 Global Innovation Field Trip (GIFT) at 4:00AM & 4:15 AM (Easter Time). The Indonesian government heard about the inventions and were very impressed by the inventions and the fact that the students would be presenting at GIFT. The students were flown to the capital, Jakarta, and at a special ceremony, their school was given 5,000,000 Rupiah as an award.
Participants of the Teach MiRo K-12 GIFT Challenge included students from: Canada, China, Indonesia, Sierra Leone, South Africa, Sweden, Syrian Arab Republic, United Kingdom and the United States!
