World Robot Olympiad today named Red Hat, the world’s leading provider of enterprise open source solutions, as a Gold Sponsor for the forthcoming World Robot Olympiad finals. After having been involved in growing a WRO robotics program in South Africa in 2019, Mark Hosking, Head of Emerging Techno...
We now have qualified teams for the international competition! If you are interested in how simulator based competition works, or how a simulator can make your STEM program stronger let me know!
An international WRO 4th - 12th grade (different difficulty) EV3 competition in a Cogmation Robotics Inc. simulator! You can program in EV3-G or Makecode, you dont have to make your own robot, but you can.
2 different difficulty levels for new or advanced teams.
Come try out to represent the USA. All teams that score 50% or higher of the points will progress to the international level.

Hi everyone! I (me Alex, not WRO) am looking for a few coaches to teach at an online summer camp. You could be from any country. The primary requirements are your WRO coaching skills and English skills that are sufficient for young students to understand clearly. We will be paying up to $50USD per hour depending on experience.
Experience with the Virtual Robotics Toolkit , and CAD is a bonus.
Please send a CV and a short video of yourself teaching something to:

Congratulations to the United Arab Emirates on their arrival at the planet Mars today.
Their HOPE orbiter will perform a detailed study of the atmosphere, which long ago sustained running water on the Martian surface. Now it doesn’t.
Lessons for us back on Earth, waiting to be learned.
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.

According to a report from The Korea Economic Daily, Hyundai Motor will acquire Boston Dynamics for $921 million (1 trillion won).
International youth robotics is so cool.
The Stage Area is OPEN and you can find the Me and My Robot Documentary exclusively for WRO 2020-X! 😍
Thank you to Juniper Networks and Kontent Films! Watch and enjoy, show to your students! 🤖

One of my sons who is a robotics newbie competing in the WRO Robot Virtual Games. He didn't know anything about robots, but knew how to program in blockly... so..... MAKECODE!
The pandemic might have hijacked headlines for now, but climate change is still a huge challenge for humanity. So it’s only fitting that the international World Robot Olympiad theme this year is Climate Squad. At WRO2020-X, our international online event in November, students get to practice skills that can help solve some of humanity’s biggest challenges. Missions for the ‘Regular’ challenges will be announced during the event. Participants then get 24hrs to submit a short video of their robot solving the challenge.
WRO teams can register directly online. Teams can be of 1, 2 or 3 students. WRO Canada will publish an event calendar on wro2020canada.org containing links to all events, and live streams.

Some people are calling this the "replacement" for EV3. I dont believe it is. It looks to me like a retail brand version of Spike PRIME.
New pilot program in WRO, autonomous cars.

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.
My session tomorrow. I will be pulling the curtain back a little on the youth robotics industry, showing how it is aligned with the maker community, and explaining how and where the maker community can help!

New study shows WRO impact on learning!
WRO Germany has conducted a study in cooperation with the University of Würzburg, and with the support of the Dr. Hans Riegel Foundation.
“The results of the evaluation of the World Robot Olympiad are very positive across the board. It is particularly noteworthy that in addition to the expected hard skills, soft skills are also successfully promoted. It is also noteworthy that participants still benefit from the competition even if they take part multiple times,” says Professor Dr. Martin Hennecke, University of Würzburg.

Teaching kids robotics just got easier with Virtual Robotics Toolkit – and it’s free for WRO teams through 2020!
“WRO wants to continue to give everyone a chance to explore robotics. Virtual Robotics Toolkit is a great step towards this goal. With its easy access and training material, VRT can support educators with their distance learning efforts," says Claus Ditlev Christensen, Secretary General WRO.
