Guests can expect an interesting and rich program, as well as an opportunity to test their intellect and creative thinking in numerous contests and quizzes. In particular, the festival will feature the following events:
• IV All-Ukrainian Robotics Olympiad
• International Robo-Football Tournament WRO Gen II Football
• Children's Architectural Contest «Stadiums of the Future» with LEGO
• LEGO Creativity Exhibition-Competition
The All-Ukrainian Robotics Olympiad will involve about 100 school teams competing for the right to represent Ukraine at the World Robot Olympiad (WRO). According to the organizers, WRO is a platform for 21st-century learning that unites talented youth from 38 countries. The Olympiad involves over 14,000 teams and hundreds of thousands of fans. This year, the Ukrainian team will fight for the right to host the World Robot Olympiad in Ukraine in 2015. The theme of this year's Olympiad is «Robots that bring people together», within which teams will demonstrate their achievements in robot design and programming. So expect a spectacular competition and we invite you to support the team you think is best!
The International Robo-Football Championship will be held according to the rules of the World Robot Olympiad GEN II (Generation II) Football. Robo-football is a football competition of autonomous robots involving teams from Brazil, China, South Africa, Russia, and Ukraine. Therefore, the festival can rightfully be called International. Ukraine is the first European country to host the world's best robo-football teams. The Ukrainian WRO Organizing Committee highly appreciates the trust placed in our country to host such a significant event and hopes that in the near future Ukraine will be able to invite and unite talented youth from 38 countries to participate in the World Robot Olympiad.
«I am very pleased to see more and more countries becoming participants in robo-football competitions,» says Claus Ditlev Christensen, Head of the WRO Organizing Committee (Program Manager – World Robot Olympiad). «I was impressed by the skill and friendliness of the Ukrainian team at the World Robot Olympiad in Abu Dhabi, 2011. I am confident that Ukrainian schoolchildren will consistently be among the winners of these prestigious modern competitions. These children are already creating their future today!»
Alongside the International Championship, there will be friendly robo-football matches open to all comers. The competitions are as close as possible to real football matches; in particular, players will be shown yellow and red cards for rule violations. So if you can't get enough of Andriy Shevchenko's fame, head over here!
The Children's Architectural Contest «Stadiums of the Future» is held among 40 schools in Ukraine and Russia. Children will present models of the best stadiums in Ukraine and the world, built from LEGO bricks. And the festival guests will have a unique opportunity to take in the NSC «Olimpiyskiy» and «Donbass Arena» at a glance. It is planned to use about 50,000 LEGO pieces to make one stadium model, with stadium dimensions of 1.5 x 2 meters.
All children present at the festival can also try their hand at building models from LEGO. For example, a contest for the best LEGO model will help discover a child's true design talent, while team building of a huge figure will reveal the ability to think big. Little fidgets will also have something to do at the festival. They will enjoy exciting video games and fun quizzes from the technical studio «Vynakhidnyk».
The All-Ukrainian Robotics Olympiad is supported by the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine, the Minor Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, companies Prolego, LegoFoundation, System Group, LEGO, TM «Atlant», and others.
