There are many ways to be part of the World Robot Olympiad™

On June 18, 2018 Juniper Networks became the global technology sponsor of the World Robot Olympiad Association in a multi-year agreement to work closely with WRO™ to promote, stage and further develop this global competition that attracts tens of thousands of young people worldwide.

Juniper Networks provided support at the MA & CT Qualifier that was held on August 11, 2018 at the James L. McKowen Boys & Girls Club of Woburn. Multiple volunteers generously donating their time to help judge the various categories of competition.

Juniper Networks presented the Award of Design Excellence to the top team in the Elementary and Junior category along with the famous Jkitty to the winner. The WRO™ MA & CT Chapter is very thankful for all of Juniper Networks contributions and look forward to working with them for many years to come.
