Islamabad:The Millennium Education Group is proud to announce a significant victory at the regional round of the World Robotics Olympiad 2024, held at NASTP Lahore and NASTP Karachi last day, says a press release.

Competing against top schools from across the nation, The Millennium Education’s teams - Tech Titans, Robo Legends, and Robo Kings - emerged victorious in all three categories: Robomission Elementary, Junior, and Senior. Their stellar performance has earned them a place in the national finals and the honour of representing Pakistan at the international competition in Izmir, Turkey, this November.

The World Robotics Olympiad (WRO) is a globally renowned competition that challenges young minds to showcase their robotics and engineering skills through creative problem-solving. Founded in 2004, WRO has grown to become one of the most prestigious robotics competitions worldwide, with participants from over 95 countries. The competition features several categories, including Robomission, where participants design, build, and program robots to complete specific tasks autonomously, testing both their technical skills and strategic thinking.

The 2024 regional round of WRO in Pakistan saw participation from leading educational institutions, including Aitchison College Lahore, Roots Millennium Education Group, Beaconhouse School, Lahore Grammar School, Nexor College and many others. Despite the tough competition, The Millennium Education’s three teams: Tech Titan, Robo Legends and Robo Kings distinguished themselves by excelling across all three categories.

Tech Titans competed in the Robomission Elementary category, showcasing a robot capable of executing a series of precise tasks. Robo Legends participated in the Robomission Junior category, impressing judges with their innovative solutions. Robo Kings took on the Senior category, demonstrating advanced robotics skills and strategic prowess.

All three teams won their respective categories, securing the highest scores and qualifying for the national finals. Their success at both the Lahore and Karachi events underscores the strength of The Millennium Education’s STEM Robotics Programme (STEM-R) and its commitment to fostering excellence in STEM education.

"Our victory at the WRO regional round is a testament to the uniqueness and effectiveness of our STEM Robotics Programme," said Dr. Faisal Mushtaq, CEO of The Millennium Education Group Pakistan.
