Robotics in competition

World Robot Olympiad

fischertechnik is an international Gold Partner of the WRO

Competitions are a particularly exciting opportunity for children and young people to develop their future skills. School teams aged 8-19 from over 90 countries take part in the global robotics competitions of the World Robot Olympiad. The teams choose one of the four competition categories, work together on a robotics / STEM task for the respective season and then compete against other teams at local, national and international events.

The positive impact of robotics competitions

On student learning in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) fields

Robotics competitions are gaining more and more attention worldwide from participants, volunteers and sponsors. This is for good reason, as robotics competitions offer great added value for participants. In addition to STEM skills, children and young people develop essential emotional and social skills while working together as a team to overcome exciting challenges.
