WASHINGTON — Six teenage members of the Burundi robotics team were
reported missing after competing in an international competition this
week in Washington.
Police tweeted missing person fliers Wednesday
asking for help finding the teens last seen in the area of the FIRST
Global Challenge around the time of Tuesday's final matches. The missing
team members include two 17-year-old girls and four males ranging in
age from 16 to 18.
Two of the six teens, Audrey Mwamikazi, 17,
and Don Ingabire, 16, were seen crossing the border from the U.S. into
Canada, police said Thursday. But no additional details were released.
The competition, designed to encourage youths
to pursue careers in math and science, attracted teams of teenagers from
more than 150 nations. A squad of girls from Afghanistan drew the most attention after they were twice rejected for U.S. visas and President Donald Trump intervened.
