25 years of making history
RoboCupJunior is an international educational robotics initiative that has been inspiring young students worldwide to engage with STEM subjects through hands-on robotics competitions for over 25 years.
The concept debuted in 1998 at the RoboCup international competition in Paris, France, and has evolved into a dynamic platform. The first official RoboCupJunior Educational competition was held in Melbourne, Australia, in 2000, introducing three core challenges: Dance (now OnStage), Sumo (later renamed Rescue), and Soccer.This initiative has become a significant force in promoting robotics and STEM education among young learners. Participation in RoboCupJunior enhances students’ interest and learning in STEM subjects, computational thinking, and engineering skills. It provides a stimulating learning environment, connecting students to industry professionals and enabling them to solve real-world problems.
RoboCupJunior contributes positively to education by increasing students’ motivation, improving teamwork abilities, and fostering creativity in problem-solving. Additionally, the program has a positive social impact by encouraging integration between schools, universities, and the larger community, creating a supportive ecosystem for young roboticists.
Join us in celebrating the 25 years of RoboCupJunior and be a part of this inspiring journey.
