WRO-World Robot Olympiad
Ignite curiosity. Build robots. Change the world — one challenge at a timent!
The World Robot Olympiad (WRO) is an international robotics competition gathering students from Grade 5 to university from over 70 countries. Year after year, nearly 20,000 teams compete in their home country to be selected for the WRO international final. Teams composed of 2-3 students and assisted by a coach develop their creative and problem solving skills through robotics challenges.
During the competition, a surprise rule is announced to the teams so they can access bonus points, adding thrill to the challenges.
To participate in WRO competitions with our elite teams, students must be enrolled in one of our prime STEM classes (like Robotics, Coding, or Engineering). This ensures they gain the foundational skills needed to excel in competitions and beyond!
