World Robot Olympiad is a robotics program whose mission is to help young people develop their creativity and problem-solving skills in a fun and engaging way through robotics competitions in four different categories for students aged 8 to 22.
The program is run by the World Robot Olympiad™ Association, which is an independent, non-profit organization whose goal is to promote robotics in STEM education worldwide.
WRO® tournaments are held in more than 100 countries worldwide.
In Morocco the program is operated by Robots & More in collaboration with the LOOP for Science & Technology association.

"This experience represents for me the opportunity to learn new technical skills by learning new programming languages, robotics and website creation, also to develop the ability to work in a team, to manage the different tasks for the realization of our project and the presentation of it before an international jury."
