Autonomous driving is a mega trend of our time. To keep WRO challenges relevant, we've launched Future Engineers, a new category that's all about autonomous driving.

We asked National Organizers what they are working on right now: To keep community and sponsors engaged in Germany, the National Organizer has announced a school prize.

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!

Teaching kids robotics just got easier with WROs Virtual Robotics Toolkit – and it’s free to use in 2020.

It is a hard but necessary decision to cancel the international final due to COVID-19 outbreak. Also the three Friendship Invitationals in China, Italy and the USA, as they face the same challenges.

The first lady of Panama heard about World Robot Olympiad and contacted national organizer Marvin Castillo to know more. Now Panama’s government wants to host an international final.

It can be hard to reach children who have had no previous experience with robotics, and children who come from low-income communities. That’s why we created WRO Virtual Robotics Simulation – a low cost solution that enables kids to learn coding and test themselves with virtual challenges.
