Thanks to their first place win, the young roboticists from Lipovljani earned a place at the world finals in Houston, Texas, USA, where they will represent Croatia by competing with the best young innovators and programmers in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Members of the Lipovljani Technical Culture Club Lucija Janceti\u0107, Filip Beljan, Roko Pir\u0161i\u0107, Borna Kos and Josip Biro, along with their leaders and mentors Kre\u0161imir Dalenjak and Ivana Grabar, presented their winning project \u201cPoseiDron\u201d to President Milanovi\u0107. It is an underwater robot for locating and monitoring the invasive species of lionfish, a venomous fish that disrupts the natural balance of the Croatian seabed. With this project, they emphasized, they demonstrated how technology can play a key role in environmental protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">President Milanovi\u0107 supported the work of the Lipovljani Technical Culture Club, and wished success to the young roboticists from Lipovljani and the best possible placement in the world competition in Houston.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Likewise, President Milanovi\u0107 was acquainted with other activities carried out by the Lipovljani Technical Culture Club, with the strong support of the Lipovljani Municipality and the Lipovljani Municipality Tourist Board, which is primarily the education of primary and secondary school children in the fields of computer science, robotics, programming and aeronautics. Although this is an association founded only in 2022, it has achieved great success in promoting the knowledge and skills of young people in the STEM field and thus successfully promotes the people of Lipovljani, said the Head of the Lipovljani Municipality Nikola Horvat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Accompanying the young roboticists and their mentors at the meeting in the Office of the President of the Republic were the President of the Municipal Council of Lipovljani, Tomislav Luk\u0161i\u0107, the President of the Tourist Board of Lipovljani, Marijana Musij, the Dean of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing in Zagreb, Prof. Vedran Bilas, PhD, and the President of the Croatian Robotics Association, Ana Sovi\u0107 Kr\u017ei\u0107, PhD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alongside Milanovi\u0107 was the Adviser to the President for Education Jadranka \u017darkovi\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n<!--GALLERY BLOCK-->\n<div class=\"c-lightbox-gallery
