We asked National Organizers what they are working on right now, as COVID-19 has made 2020 very different from previous WRO seasons: WRO Egypt sees Virtual Robotics Toolkit (VRT) as a way to give more kids access to robotics.

All physical events have been cancelled in Canada, but the National Organizers are coming up with new solutions to teach kids robotics – and have already hosted an online competition.

Updated: Due to the covid-19 pandemic, the international 2020 events have been cancelled. Some events on a national level may be impacted too. We continue to monitor the situation and inform our national organizers.

Until recently we couldn’t prove that robotics competitions increase learning in STEM, but a new study from the University of Würzburg shows very positive results across the board!
