Applications are now open for training courses for public and private school students participating in the World Robot Olympiad, which organises tournaments in over 85 countries worldwide.

Bahrain is among the nine countries organising the tournament in the Middle East. The theme of the 2022 Olympiad is "My Robot, My Friend".

The Ministry of Education is organising the training session with Britus International School – Bahrain. Britus School Principal Andy Hubble expressed pride in joining hands with the Ministry for the tournament.

He noted that the school has been organising this event since 2011 in Bahrain. MoE said the training focuses on students between 8 and 19 years of age. The training sessions are for learning the technical aspects of building and programming robots, understanding the rules and procedures of the game, and preparing students for the competition.

Elementary, junior and senior level students could participate. This year the competition requires students to design and build autonomous robots to play sports and their own smart robots. To register, visit the BISBH_official page on Instagram or www.BISBH_official. britus.edu.bh.
