The not-for-profit organization for Educational Robotics, Science & Technology, WRO Hellas is accepting entries from all over Greece for the 9th National Educational Robotics Competition. The winner of the National Competition will go to the Educational Robotics Olympiad. COSMOTE has been a strategic partner of WRO Hellas for this purpose since 2014.
The participants must create a construction robot to develop sustainable solutions. Robots should not harm the environment and should help us understand it more deeply. At the National Competition, teams will first need to compete in regional competitions to qualify for and reach the finals. The winners of the final will be part of the Greek delegation for the Robotics Olympiad in Costa Rica this November. As the premier event for science, technology and education, it is a perfect opportunity to make our presence known.
