INDIAN STUDENTS MAKE THE NATION PROUD

World Robot Olympiad (WRO) is considered as one of the largest and most prestigious global robotics competitions for K-12 kids. Every member nation first holds the regional and national level competition. Winners of the national chapter are then selected to represent the respective nation at the international finale! Every year, teams from 70+ countries are a part of this competition!

This competition is extremely popular in India since 2007. WRO comes with a theme every year and students have to design and code their robots using Lego Mindstorms EV3 to solve the given challenge. This year's theme was – Powerbots, the future of energy. Teams in regular category were supposed the build and code the robots that modernise the energy use of a house, assist with charging of cars in a parking garage and manage the energy mix on the grid. A total of 95 teams from across India participated in the national chapter,

RoboFun Lab specialises in coaching the students for various robotics competitions like WRO, FIRST Lego League, FIRST Tech Challenge, Robotex, MIT Appathon, etc.?

This year, we mentored 16 teams in India and clinched a clean sweep across all 3 regular categories of WRO 2021 in the national chapter. All three teams, Techtory, Greenbots and RFL Horizon are coached by RFL since June 2021. Do you know that top 7 in elementary and top 5 in Junior high in the national chapter are all from RFL in this season?

We had a mesmerizing season with our hard-working students and coaches this year. Just to let you know, since our inception, there has not been a single year where an RFL team has not topped the WRO competition and represented India!

In 2017, RFL Team Archimedes became the first ever recipient of Lego Creativity Award - https://wro-association.org/wp-content/uploads/world-robot-olympiad_annual-report_2017.pdf , making India proud! At RFL, we have designed our regular robotics courses in a way that prepares students for various competitions. We take pride in what our students achieve by building and coding the robots on their own with a very little help from our coaches!

In this journey, students also develop critical 21^st century tech and life skills like –

ROBOT BUILDING

CODING

TEAMWORK

PROBLEM SOLVING

CREATIVITY

INNOVATION

TIME MANAGEMENT
