"We were the girls who struggled with many obstacles. We were given the opportunities and we gained a great honor," said Sumaia Faroqi, the leader of the robotics team.

"Among 177 countries of the world that participated in the competition, we were able to successfully win the Judges Award. This was an award given to a team that had the best performance during the competition and had worked hard," said Haida Haidari, a member of the team.

And weep by the waters of Qatar
Will someday return!
Now they study, and learn
To be clockmaking Ahmed, but hotter."
