With the support of Azerbaijan Technical University (AzTU), the “MECHACK 9030” team achieved significant success in 2023 at the New York City Regional competition, winning the “Rookie All-Star Award” and qualifying for the World Championship. At the Houston World Championship, the team was awarded the “Rookie Inspiration Award – Newton Division.” Additionally, by receiving a “Wild Card” at the New York Regional, the MECHACK team once again demonstrated its engineering skills and team spirit at an international level.
On March 14, 2025, the “MECHACK 9030” team also participated in competitions held in Orlando and Miami, Florida, USA. Competing among 53 teams, the team placed 117th, further enriching its international experience. These accomplishments are tangible results of AzTU’s support for youth development in the fields of technology and innovation.
Beyond the First Robotics Competition (FRC), the MECHACK team has formed six First Lego League (FLL) teams and one First Tech Challenge (FTC) team, making a substantial contribution to the advancement of youth in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) in Azerbaijan. These teams have been honored with prestigious awards such as the “Thinking Award,” “Attractive Team,” and “Engineering Excellence Award.”
These initiatives, carried out with the support of AzTU, contribute to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (particularly SDG 4 – Quality Education and SDG 9 – Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure) by fostering the development of youth knowledge and skills.
This project is supported by the Ministry of Science and Education of the Republic of Azerbaijan, the Ministry of Digital Development and Transport, Azerbaijan Technical University, Azercell, Kapital Bank, Azerbaijan Lottery, Azersun Holding, Azercosmos, Denetik Certification Company, B2B Group, Aura, and AD Media.
