INSPIRING YOUNG INNOVATORS
WRO’s chairman Eugene Zhang said the competition aims to give young innovators like Skylar and Elon opportunities for hands-on learning and problem-solving, and to promote STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) education worldwide.
Its first edition was held in 2004 at the Singapore Science Centre, with about a dozen nations and territories taking part, Mr Zhang said.
Today, the WRO has expanded into a global event involving more than 90 countries and over 70,000 young participants each year.
