A Monumental Victory at the National Robotics Competition
The future of Philippine innovation is bright, and nowhere is that clearer than in the brilliant minds of our young makers.
The team from Juan G. Macaraeg National High School (JGMNHS), known as Juan Terra, has just brought home a phenomenal achievement, securing the Overall 2nd Runner Up in the highly competitive 4th National/International Robotics and Automation Competition, held at Don Bosco Technical Institute of Makati last December 6–7, 2025.
Excellence Forged in the Makerspace Spirit
At Makerspace Innovhub, our mission is to foster fearless exploration and provide the environment for great ideas to become reality. The achievements of the JGMNHS team perfectly embody this spirit. They didn’t just compete; they dominated in key categories:

This victory is a powerful testament to the grit, creativity, and technical prowess nurtured by their coaches and the entire JGMNHS community. Their success shows what is possible when young learners are given the opportunity and encouragement to pursue STEM and robotics.
Sponsoring Our National Talent: The Road to Global Innovation
While the national champion proceeds to the international competition in Greece, the entire JGMNHS Robotics Team, our Filipino Robotics Champions have demonstrated world-class capability and deserve our unwavering support.
Robotics is not just about building robots; it’s about engineering solutions, mastering complex programming, and collaborative problem-solving. These students are poised to become the next generation of engineers, technologists, and entrepreneurs who will drive economic growth and societal change in the Philippines.
How You Can Support the Juan Terra Team?
But the journey requires resources. Continued excellence means access to better equipment, advanced sensors, training opportunities, and the infrastructure to iterate and prototype the very core of what a makerspace provides.
This is where Makerspace and our community step in.
We are calling on businesses, alumni, and passionate individuals to join us in supporting these young innovators. Sponsorship will directly fund the equipment, materials, and training needed for the team to:
- Upgrade their current robotics lab to meet international standards.
- Attend specialized workshops on advanced automation and AI.
- Prepare for future local and international competitions (including potential travel expenses).
A partnership with Makerspace to support the JGMNHS Robotics Team is an investment in the Philippines’ technological future. It is a direct endorsement of the courage, teamwork, and innovation that led them to become the Overall 2nd Runner Up.
Let us help them turn their passion into a lifelong career of building and making.
Mabuhay ang JGMNHS Robotics Team! Patuloy na nagpapakita ng galing, talino, at puso para sa innovation!
