With significant distinctions and five medals, the Greek delegation returned to Athens from the International Robotics Championship “RoboRAVE2025″,which was hosted in Beijing, on August 25 and 26, 2025.

The Greek presence was represented by twenty-five teams, with seventy-five students from Larissa, Volos, Karditsa, Drama and Pella. These teams were selected last April 2025 through the first national competition “RoboRAVEGreece”held in Larissa, thus being the core of the national team. The mission was the second-largest after the Chinese, standing out for its performance and ingenuity.

RoboRAVE International is an international event that brings together students and educators from all over the world, promoting innovation, collaboration and STEM values. The Beijing World Final was attended by more than 700 contestants from different countries, competing in different fields.

Greek pupils and students, divided into three age categories, competed in four fields, such as SumoBot, where robots compete in a wrestling field, Line Follow – Sprint, which combines precision and speed, a-MAZE-ing, which highlights the robot’s ability to navigate a labyrinth, and Entrepreneurship, which promotes technology and innovation with a social character . Through these participations, the Greek teams proved their high technological training, spirit of cooperation and creativity.
