World Robot
Olympiad

The combination of robotics and artificial intelligence can change the environment in which we, as humans, live and supports the development of STEM awareness (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math).

Fortunately for young learners, robotics makes STEM simple and fun to learn whilst still promoting the need for critical thinking and problem solving.

The world of robotics offers a great starting point to STEM education at Britus International School – Bahrain, sparking a passion for STEM through the use of simple robots and basic coding right the way through to representing the school at national and international competitions.

Participants gain real-world problem-solving experience through a guided, global robotics program and compete in National and International competitions each year.

The WRO Program offers challenging competitions for students ages 8 to 19 and is divided into three competition categories, each with their own characteristics.

01

Robomission

02

Robosports

03

Future Innovators

Students bring coding to life in the classroom using LEGO Education NXT, EV3 & SPIKE Prime. Here, they design and build programmable robots to solve problems within STEM, combining their design and coding skills to create innovative solutions to real-world problems. Students also develop a range of 21st century skills through computational thinking and design-based problem so
