About

OctetoHaret (Team #25474) is the official robotics team of the “Spiru Haret” Theoretical High School in Chisinau. Its members are students passionate about engineering, coding, and innovation who actively participate in national and international educational robotics competitions, such as the FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) Moldova. Beyond designing and programming robots, the team distinguishes itself through the active promotion of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) disciplines and the organization of community events for young people.

Established in december 2023 with an initial core of 8 students, the team has expanded rapidly, now comprising 14 active members and 8 volunteers. Led by mentor and coach Victor Papanaga and team captain Ștefan Mihailă, OctetoHaret is organized into two complementary departments: the Technical section (covering 3D design, mechanics, electronics, programming, and robot operation) and the Non-Technical section (handling public relations, social media management, event organization, and fundraising).
