Register your team for a WRO event
What is WRO?
The World Robot Olympiad is a global movement that inspires students to explore STEM through hands-on robotics challenges. What started as a small regional event has grown, over two decades, into the world's premier youth robotics competition. Teams build, code, and compete — developing engineering, programming, problem-solving, and teamwork skills along the way. The US Engineering League (USEL) is the official US National Organizer for WRO.
