We at MCS are bursting with immense pride as we celebrate the outstanding achievements of our students at the prestigious National STEAM — Luvá 2025 and Robomatrix Competitions! These incredible victories reflect the hard work, dedication, and deep-seated commitment to excellence that we cultivate in every classroom and co-curricular activity. For families seeking a bilingual, values-based education in Costa Rica, these results confirm that MCS is building students of character and technical competence—the future leaders our nation needs.
This year’s competitions were a true proving ground for innovation, strategic thinking, and teamwork. Our students didn’t just participate; they excelled, bringing home a remarkable collection of medals and top-tier placements. Their success is a powerful testament to the integrated, hands-on learning approach that makes MCS unique, blending academic rigor with essential practical and problem-solving skills rooted in our Christian values.
National Triumphs: High School Mastery in Electrotec
Our High School teams demonstrated a profound understanding of applied physics and electrical engineering, securing top spots in the highly challenging Electrotec category.
- 2nd and 3rd Place Nationally in Electrotec: This remarkable achievement is a clear testament to the technical mastery and problem-solving excellence of our young engineers. They faced complex circuits and real-world design constraints, yet through rigorous preparation and collaborative effort, they developed innovative and functional solutions. Their success in this category shows that MCS students are not just learning theory; they are putting it into practice at a national level. We encourage you to learn more about the technical depth of our High School program on our Programs Page.
This level of success doesn’t happen by chance. It’s the result of a curriculum that encourages curiosity and provides the tools for deep, sustained inquiry. Students at MCS learn to view challenges not as obstacles, but as opportunities to apply their knowledge, demonstrating perseverance—a key Christian value—in every iteration and design refinement.
Strategic Excellence: Dominating the Robomatrix Arena
En Robomatrix Competition demands not only technical skill but also strategic thinking under pressure. Our teams excelled across multiple categories, proving that preparation, strong collaboration, and adaptable strategies lead to victory.
We are thrilled to announce that our students secured:
- Four National Bronze Medals in Robomatrix: These medals are a resounding proof of their strategic thinking, tireless perseverance, and exceptionally strong preparation. From building robust mechanical structures to programming intricate movement algorithms, our students executed their plans with precision. They learned quickly from every trial and error, embodying the resilience taught in scripture, as noted in Romans 5:3-5: “endurance produces character, and character produces hope” (NIV). This perseverance is a cornerstone of the MCS experience.
Furthermore, the bronze medals celebrate the power of teamwork. In robotics, no single person can succeed alone. Our students had to communicate, delegate tasks, and hold each other accountable, mirroring the cooperative spirit we instill as part of our core values.
Creativity Meets Code: Middle School Video Game Innovation
The digital world offers endless possibilities for creativity, and our Middle School students embraced this wholeheartedly. Their success in the field of video game creation highlights the synergy between artistic vision and logical programming.
- Bronze Medal in Video Game Creation: Congratulations are in order for our talented 6th-grade students who showed the nation just how creativity and coding make a powerful duo. They designed, programmed, and implemented a functional game, demonstrating mastery over complex software tools and storytelling techniques. This category encourages computational thinking and visual design, skills vital for the 21st-century economy. Their achievement beautifully illustrates how we integrate the arts and sciences at MCS.
The Foundation of Future Success: Elementary Robotics
Even our youngest students are building a strong foundation for future technological achievement. The challenges in Elementary Robotics are designed to test foundational engineering principles, collaboration, and rapid problem-solving.
- 3rd Place in Elementary Robotics: Our Elementary team demonstrated remarkable teamwork, adaptability, and skill in solving their designated challenges. Their success is truly inspiring, showing that the principles of STEAM can be taught effectively and engagingly from a young age. Watching them work together with such maturity and excitement is a reminder that the seeds of future innovation are planted early at MCS. This early exposure to complex problem-solving helps them develop the confidence to face any academic challenge.
Beyond the Medals: The MCS Commitment to Excellence
These accomplishments are more than just a tally of medals and placements. They are the tangible result of dedication, teamwork, and a deep commitment to excellence—values we nurture every day at MCS. We believe that true education must equip students not only with knowledge but also with the character to use that knowledge responsibly. Our holistic, bilingual approach ensures students can articulate their ideas fluently in English and Spanish while grounding their decisions in ethical, Christian principles.
The successes at the National STEAM — Luvá 2025 and Robomatrix Competitions showcase the quality of our academic programs and the passion of our faculty. Our teachers are mentors and coaches, guiding students not just to the correct answer, but through the challenging process of discovery and application.
