In 2023 we saw many countries embracing new competition categories and the number of teams increased again. We also welcomed a lot of new countries on board, especially from the Americas. This was the direct result of Panama hosting our International Final and their efforts to support new countries to join WRO. We have made our annual report into a video-report this year.

The WRO International Final brought us to beautiful and vibrant Panama in 2023. This video is the recap of the event.

In 2022, the WRO community bounced back from the coronavirus pandemic. Some of our member countries were still dealing with restrictions and for many young people the opportunity to participate in WRO and to work with their friends on something fun and challenging has been tremendously valuable. Read more about the season in our 2022 annual report.

In 2021 our member countries were committed to keep the WRO spirit alive in their community. We decided early in the year that all these efforts deserved  an official WRO^® International Final, and because we knew we could not invite teams we hosted it online. We also took the opportunity to do a well deserved complete make over of our WRO competitions and we added a brand new RoboSports category! Read our 2021 annual report to find more.

In our 17th season, for the first time ever, we had to cancel WRO’s equivalent to New Year’s Eve: The International Final in November. But despite losing our big international event, and having to change the way we engage our community, the year ended on a much more positive note, than it began. Read the 2020 annual report to find out why.

If you are new to World Robot Olympiad, the annual report will show you why our work is important. If you know WRO, sit back and enjoy some of the highlights: From the documentary ME & MY ROBOT to a virtual introduction to robotics. And the biggest of them all: the international final in Hungary which included more than 3,000 visitors, and 400 teams from 70 countries.

In our 15th season we welcomed a lot of new member countries and returned to Thailand with our International Final. This Annual Report shows how much we have grown since our early days and our two premium partners tell more about their reasons to support us.

In the 2017 annual report we highlight our new WeDo challenges for the youngest roboteers up to 10 years of age. We also take you to beautiful Costa Rica, where we had our first International Final on the American continent.

This annual report gives you an overview of the 2016 season. Read more about new developments, our visit to India for the international final and about girls in STEM.

In this report we look back upon the 2015 season and the international final in Qatar.
