- The 9th National Contest World Robot Olympiad™ by WRO Hellas was completed with COSMOTE as strategic partner

Eleven teams of studentssecured the "ticket" for their participation atEducational Robotics Olympiad- WRO™(World Robot Olympiad) in Costa Rica, following the9thNational Contest of Educational Robotics.The contest was organized byWRO Hellas(Non-Profit Organization Educational Robotics, Science and Technology), along withCOSMOTE as strategic partnerand took place last Saturday at the Olympic Stadium of Athens.

More than 500 studentsfrom Primary, Junior High and High schools all over Greece participated in the final, designed and constructed sophisticated robotic constructions based on the theme "Robots for Sustainable Development"(Sustainabot). The eleven winner teams per category are:

  • Open High school: The Independent G.R.I.D Team
  • Open Lyceum: The Minders from the Educational Renaissance
  • Advanved Robotics Challenge: 2 teams from University of Macedonia
  • Football: The bitbot2 team from bitLab

The eleven groups forming the national Greek team will compete this coming November in Costa Rica, along with more than600 teamsfrom all over the world. COSMOTE also supports regularly the engagement of national Greek teams at Educational Robotics Olympiad - WRO™, that have obtained significant distinctions, such as the team ranked 4thworldwide, in "football" category, held at Educational Robotics Olympiad in 2016.

The National Contest of Educational Robotics leading to the Educational Robotics Olympiad, is among the actions implemented by WRO Hellas, along with COSMOTE as strategic partner, so as to enhancethespread of educational roboticsacross our country. Educational Robotics is based on the S.T.E.M. (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) educational method, offering students better understanding of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. Pan-Hellenic educational Robotics Competition for primary, junior high and high school students constitute similar actions.

COSMOTE, through multiple sustainable, development actions, systematically invests in digital expertise growth and education for young people. Through technology and innovation, COSMOTE contributes into making a better world for everyone.
