Registration opens for 2026 World Robot Olympiad in Saudi Arabia
The King Abdulaziz and His Companions Foundation for Giftedness and Creativity (Mawhiba) has opened registration for the 2026 World Robot Olympiad, a global competition aimed at developing skills in robotics, innovation, and teamwork among boys and girls aged 8 to 22. The registration is open to participants across all regions of Saudi Arabia and can be completed through the foundation’s website.
The Olympiad consists of multiple stages: registration and qualification rounds, national qualifiers, and a national final. The first two stages will be organized in collaboration with the Ministry of Education and Asr Robotics Company. Qualified teams will advance to the national final, aiming to represent Saudi Arabia in the global finals, which will be held in Puerto Rico alongside around 100 countries.
This year's Olympiad, themed "Robots and Culture," focuses on utilizing robotics and artificial intelligence to protect, restore, and digitize cultural heritage, while also enhancing public engagement with art and history. Mawhiba, in line with Saudi Vision 2030, seeks to empower talented students in technology and artificial intelligence through this competition.
The foundation has encouraged young people, teachers, and parents to take advantage of this opportunity and sign up for the Olympiad via the Mawhiba website at https://s.mawhiba.sa/ROB.
