Literary fest, 28-9-2019

The literary fest 2019 was graced in the presence of neighbor

school- PHSS, Lobesa MSS and Bajo HSS. A moment of silence

marked the beginning of program which was further enriched when

a short video on the autobiography of the late founding father

Yab Ugyen Dorji was played and the journey about him to reach

the peak of success was foretold through the Book Rainbow

and the Clouds, authored by Ashi Dorji Wangmo Wangchuk .

The mesmerizing event intended to promote and foster the young

talented writers and at the same time to encourage the

existing readers and writers. In addition, a story telling competition

between the host school and visitor school added charm to the event.

Further there was a short interview with the young writer

Yeshey Tsyang which enriched the young children’s mind. Finally,

the program concluded with the prize award to the participants.

NO WONDER UGYEN ACADEMY BRINGS BEST IN EVERYTHING.

The bilateral relations between the Kingdom of Bhutan and the Kingdom of Thailand was established in 1989. Thailand is one of the only 53 nations with formal diplomatic relations with Bhutan. Muay Thai or literally Thai boxing is a combat sport of Thailand that uses stand-up striking along with various clinching techniques. This discipline is known as the "art of eight limbs" as it is characterized by the combined use of fists, elbows, knees, and shins. Thai Boxing form Thailand showed their skills to UA students and it is for 30 years of diplomatic relationship with Bhutan.

Ugyen Academy (UA) - STEM Olympiad-2019 Tango Gem Bot

Ugyen Academy visions itself as a school of WILL - WINNERS, INNOVATORS, LEARNERS, LEADERS. Accordingly, Tango Gem Bot is an innovation of team UA. The concept and the purpose of our robot, “Tango Gem Bot", for artificial intelligence (AI) in sustainable farming, is a prototype that will cater to small, medium and large sized farms – meeting the demands of the diverse nature of our terrain. In particular, it will lead not just to food sufficiency in the country but solve the unemployment problem to a large degree.

The Tango Gem Bot has multiple functions like loading and unloading of cube boxes which represent farm machineries in reality. Second function is to lift the TT balls and that resembles the watering system. Lastly, we have picking of T shape cards resembling the seeds for the farms.

The Tango Gem Bot in real life will also make farming less painstaking and more enjoyable. The use of AI in sustainable farming in turn will boost the economy and materialize the most important dream - food sufficiency.

We remain greatly indebted to REC for coming up with such a meaningful initiative in collaboration with FABlab Bhutan. Such initiatives will give our youths an opportunity to showcase what they have learned in the classroom.

Finally, we would like to thank our school for the relentless support to Team UA in STEM Olympiad 2019. We understand that the competition is very fierce but we will promise to live up to our motto, “Be Your Best”.

On 19th April 2019 Ugyen Academy Football Club members submitted the UAFC financial account to our UAFC  Vice President.
