Dominico Americano School Students Achieve Second Place in International Technology Competition

A team of students from our school has impressively achieved second place in the Junior category of the international competition organized by Coded – Coding Education, recently held in Orlando, United States. This outstanding performance was achieved after a week of intense collaboration and effort, during which the students presented their innovative project, EcoOtter Park, a proposal that fuses skills in programming, design, and critical thinking within the field of technology and STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics).

The competition brought together teams from 16 schools from countries such as Costa Rica, Peru, Argentina, Mexico, Brazil, and Honduras, where the team from Dominico Americano School stood out among the best, securing one of the 20 spots available for the next international edition of the competition in Tokyo 2027.

In addition to the competition, the students participated in an extensive training program provided by Coded, which included a series of workshops focused on the latest technological and design trends. Among the courses and activities carried out, participants delved into areas such as programming and web design, digital animations, aerospace, and theme park design. They also had the opportunity to explore science and technology in iconic places like Universal Studios and Disney.

The EcoOtter Park project stood out for its innovative and unique proposal, the result of the students’ effort and dedication in applying what they had learned during their preparation. Through this work, they demonstrated not only their technical skills but also their ability to work in teams, solve complex problems, and propose creative solutions.

“We are very proud of our students’ performance and grateful to Coded for offering such an enriching platform. This second place is just the beginning of a bright future for these young innovators,” said Linda Mauad, director of Dominico Americano School.

This achievement highlights the growing importance of technological competencies in the educational and professional development of young people, consolidating Dominico Americano School as a reference in the training of future leaders in science and technology.
