WRO partners have real impact in a world where many students don't have easy access to STEM offerings. Our Premium Partner Juniper Networks is a great example: Their Girls in STEM Award is already driving positive change.

If 2020 taught us anything, it's that teaching robotics can continue, even when many kids can't meet in person to learn, build and program. While we hope for an end to the pandemic in 2021, we're planning an amazing online international final in November.

The Girls in STEM Award has been awarded to two National Organizers who are doing amazing work to introduce more girls to the world of robotics.

It can be a challenge to get teams to transfer from physical competitions to online. But WRO USA, who are doing an online tournament in a few days, had great success using both e-mail to existing teams and social media to reach new teams.
