Roborobo, a leading company in the field of educational robots, announced on October 4th that it has become an official sponsor of the World Robot Olympiad (WRO).

The World Robot Olympiad (WRO) is an international competition that promotes creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving skills through robotics. Last year, the event attracted 40,000 young participants from 91 countries, solidifying its position as the largest robotics competition in the world.

As a leader in educational technology, Roborobo—driven by its vision of nurturing future talent across all age groups, from young children to adults—has committed to supporting the growth of young people worldwide as future leaders by becoming a Gold Sponsor of the WRO.

In addition, Roborobo plans to offer educational programs aimed at equipping participants with the diverse technical skills required for the future. The company also aims to accelerate the development of more digital educational content and robotics kits, enabling different generations to easily access and learn about emerging technologies through robotics competitions.

WRO Secretary General Claus Ditlev Christensen shared his thoughts: “Roborobo is a perfect partner that aligns with WRO’s goal of fostering creativity and technical skills in young students. World Robot Olympiad (WRO) competitions allow free choice of robotics platforms, and Roborobo offers a great option for teams seeking a reliable and competitive solution. This partnership will inspire participants around the world and elevate WRO as the world’s premier robotics Olympiad.”

Kevin Rey Veliz Bravo, Roborobo’s Global Business Manager, stated: “Through this partnership, we hope to contribute to robotics education that aligns with WRO’s ideals by providing young students with the opportunity to experience Roborobo’s high-quality robotic kits and programs.”

Meanwhile, the 2024 WRO International Final will take place from Thursday, November 28, to Saturday, November 30, in Izmir, Turkey, where top teams from around the world will compete after passing their respective national preliminaries.
