KUALA LUMPUR, June 18 (Bernama) -- Juniper Networks Inc has become the global technology partner of the World Robot Olympiad Association (WRO) -- a non-profit organisation that focuses on the hands-on development of robotics within STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) education on a worldwide scale.
Juniper will work closely with WRO to promote, stage and further develop this global competition that attracts tens of thousands of young people. Juniper will also sponsor the new Juniper Networks´ Engineering Simplicity Honors Award at WRO 2018, a statement said.
The WRO competition this year from November 16 to 18 in Chiang Mai, Thailand encourages participating teams to solve challenges and complex problems using mathematics, computer programming, coding skills and exploring the principles of automation. It also fosters other important life skills including teamwork, perseverance, learning from mistakes and creative thinking.
Each year, at least 23,000 teams from more than 70 countries take part in WRO´s competition which involves approximately 100,000 young people, ranging from six to 25 years old.
The competition comprises several categories including Regular (a themed category), Open (to drive innovation and creativity), a robotic football tournament, an Advanced Robotics Challenge for students aged 19 to 25 and WeDo, a starter class for children aged six to 10.
Currently, Juniper is sponsoring a short documentary film looking at the human stories behind some of the teams and their paths to WRO 2018. The company is working in conjunction with the accomplished filmmaker and director, James Redford.
Juniper Networks is an industry leader in automated, scalable and secure networks. More information at www.juniper.net.
