Estudiantes del sur de Londres reciben una beca STEM en el programa Otis

Los jueces de Otis reconocieron a un equipo de nueve estudiantes de la escuela Linden Lodge en Wimbledon, al sur de Londres, con un premio al segundo lugar en Otis Made to Move Communities.^TM challenge for the Europe, Middle East and Africa region. Alongside Otis mentors, the students designed an AI-powered app called Walkway that supports visually impaired individuals and promotes inclusive mobility — the theme of this year's challenge. The win resulted in the school receiving a GBP11,500 (US$15,502) grant to advance its science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) learning. Linden Lodge School is a residential school for children with vision and sensory impairment. Teacher Beatriz Calvo Perez, who led the project for the school, said its students face many barriers in their day-to-day lives, and taking part in the challenge was particularly meaningful for them. "Our students have demonstrated that having a disability is not a barrier to achievement," she said.
