There are moments when a school truly comes together.

As our PYP4 and PYP5 students prepared to leave for Robomed 2026, an international robotics competition, the entire PYP gathered to send them off in the best possible way: with thunderous applause and a chorus of “Go Wildcats!” echoing through the campus.

It was a moment filled with pride, energy and shared excitement.
A moment that also celebrated achievement, as Riccardo Gaiani and Luca Hildebrand were recognised for advancing to the provincial round of the Mathematics Games.

Then, the journey began.

Four Days of Innovation, Challenge and Growth

Accompanied by Mr Davide Gusatto, PYP Digital Design Teacher who led the preparation for the competition, and Ms Stefania Pasquali, Head of PYP, our students stepped into an international environment where creativity, problem-solving and teamwork take centre stage.

Competing under the name Wildcats, they brought with them not only technical skills, but also months of dedication, curiosity and collaboration.

At the heart of this journey lies an educational approach where technology and coding are not isolated subjects, but tools for thinking, creating and solving real-world problems. Experiences like Robomed reflect how these disciplines are fully integrated into our learning model, empowering students to become confident and creative problem-solvers.

Behind their performance lies a journey of preparation that blended disciplines and talents, made even richer thanks to the valuable support of Ms Silvia Bertinato, PYP Art Teacher, who contributed to shaping both the creative and expressive side of the project.

Representing Our School, Living Our Values

Throughout the competition, our students represented H-FARM International School Vicenza with enthusiasm, resilience and a strong sense of identity.

They worked together, faced challenges, adapted and learned – demonstrating what it truly means to take knowledge beyond the classroom and apply it in real-world contexts.

More Than a Competition

Robomed was not just a competition.
It was an experience of growth, discovery and connection.

A reflection of a learning journey where technology, creativity and critical thinking come together to shape the skills students will carry into the future.

And as the Wildcats return, one thing is certain:
the journey they started together will continue to shape their curiosity, confidence and passion for what comes next.

Go Wildcats!
