The World Robot Olympiad (WRO) is one of the most prestigious World Robotics competitions held annually. This competition brings together many students from around the world to solve different robotic problems in different age groups, and the WRO has now become one of the largest international robotics competitions.
Our mission is to help young people develop their creativity and problem-solving skills in a fun and engaging way. We do this by organizing robotics competitions in four different categories for students aged 8-19 years. All interested students in Oman can participate in the National competition, and we will select the best Omani teams for sending to the final international WRO competitions.
