We would like to invite you, your students, and your school to participate in this unique and exciting international competition. Open to all Australian school students in years 6, 7 and 8, the OneWorld Robotics Competition brings together schools from all over the globe.
The OneWorld Robotics Competition offers students the opportunity to develop and apply critical STEAM survival skills in pursuit of solving real-world challenges we are facing right now.
The 2025 OneWorld Robotics Competition mission is
AI TRAILBLAZER
All participants’ efforts will be recognized. Students will be awarded certificates of participation recognising the commitment and teamwork required in the months of preparation leading up to the competition.
The winning team at each area competition will be awarded a full robotic learning classroom set including 10 robotic starter-kits, including hardware, software and professional development.
The winning OneWorld Global team will receive a monetary prize of USD 5,000. Winning teams in three Future Skills categories will receive USD 1,000 for each category.
Students will have their projects judged based on Future Skills categories utilizing Dr Tony Wagner’s Seven Survival Skills. Assessment will be completed by a panel of judges comprised of industry experts and entrepreneurs.
Critical Thinking and Problem Solving
Collaboration Across Networks and Leading by Influence
Agility and Adaptability
Initiative and Entrepreneurial
Effective Oral and Written Communication
Accessing and Analyzing Information
Curiosity and Imagination
Each student will use the Practice Kit to collaborate with their team and demonstrate their robotic problem-solving concept. The kit contains the FlipRobot E310, along with a range of additional extensions. With both hardware and software, participants can create original concepts with greater flexibility.
The Practice Kit allows team members to learn and master their hardware and coding skills. Access to online projects to learn and apply these skills as a team establish the foundation for their competition preparation. We encourage team coaches to use this time to guide their team in project management, teamwork and advance their future skills.
The competition will start with area competitions held in the following cities:
Auckland
Melbourne
Kuala Lumpur
Singapore
Sydney
Taipei
Area Competitions:
Running over two days, teams will present their concept portfolio, rationale, and take part in an active scenario demonstration of their robotic solution to one of the competitions theme categories.
