"WRO Starter" is WRO Switzerland's robotics offer for the youngest. We offer a course in which children aged 6 to 10 can gain their first experience with a Lego robot. The aim is for the children to take part in the starter category competition.

• For girls and boys from 6 to 10 years old
• No previous knowledge required
• Programming with image blocks
• Robotics sets (Lego Spike Essential) can be borrowed for a deposit of CHF 50
• Participation in the course and the competition is free of charge
• Registration for the course for each child via the registration link at the bottom of the page. If not already done and free places are available, registration for the competition can be made during the course.

• An exciting task (for information, here are the tasks for 2025):
• For teams with 2 or 3 children – If you already have a partner, you can register together. Otherwise you can find a partner at the courses.
• Support from a coach (parent, teacher, other person over the age of 18)

We offer workshops in which the children can learn the basics of robotics and prepare for the tasks of the competition with the support of a specialist. The workshops are spread over four dates. The following applies:

• 2x Basics of robotics
• 2x concrete preparation for the competition

Children who already have previous experience with Lego robots can also come to just the two competition-related workshops. Please register your child for the workshop and contact us.

The workshops will take place at the same locations as the competitions in this category. The dates will be announced at the beginning of 2026. It is possible to register now and then change the location if the date does not suit.

Contact: starter@wro.swiss

Note: The competition and workshops will be held in the language of the respective language region.

The number of places is limited!
