Message from WRO Chairman

Welcome to World Robot Olympiad!

Robotics is a wonderful platform for learning 21st century skills. Solving robotic challenges builds innovation, creativity and problem solving skills in students, and because robotics cross multiple curriculum subjects, students must learn and apply their knowledge in science, engineering, math, and computer programming. The most rewarding part of designing robots is that students have fun, work together as a team, and learning occurs as naturally as breathing air.

WRO has been building this learning platform for 7 years now.  Our first robotics competition was in 2004 where we had 12 countries and 4000 teams. In 2012 we anticipate over 35 countries and over 15,000 teams from around the world taking part in WRO activities in local, regional, and national competitions.  I would like to extend my most sincere gratitude to the volunteers, organizers, and participants for making WRO such a huge success. 

I look forward to the 2012 WRO in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I am sure we will all have a memorable and wonderful experience in November 2012.  See you in Kuala Lumpur!
