ABOUT
ARDUINO COMPETITION

A smart lifestyle means improving everyday life. At home, at school, at work or on the street, people can put technology to work and enjoy modern solutions for a better quality of life.

The National Arduino Competition comes with a new challenge this year! We invite high school and middle school students to submit a smart Arduino concept! Whether you offer solutions for reducing carbon emissions, making transportation more efficient, a smart work environment, a modern home or school, a smart farm or any other project with smart Arduino solutions, you can enter the competition!

Organized by ADFABER and sponsored by BOSCH, the competition is part of the Kids in Tech program and offers students a unique opportunity to combine their passion for technology with creativity and learning in a fun and interactive way.

WHY PARTICIPATE IN THE COMPETITION

Take the challenge of the competition and get involved in an educational, hands-on activity with a topical theme, where you can combine your passion for robotics with the theoretical programming skills you learned at school.

Taking part in this competition will set you apart and can launch you into a highly sought-after field!

Form a team of up to 3 students and, together with a teacher, turn your ideas into reality! Your creativity can be the start of a new lifestyle! If you are a student in grades V-XII and passionate about computer science, you have everything you need to register for the competition. Show us how much you love robotics and convince the jury that your project deserves to be awarded!

THEME ARDUINO COMPETITION

‘‘The competition was a real challenge for the students. They started with an engaging and bold idea, which they kept changing throughout the process until they brought the final product to the desired form. I believe such competitions offer students the chance to learn practically. It is a significant step forward in their development.”

Horlescu Gabriela, ICT Teacher (Information and Communication Technology),
Technical College "Gheorghe Cartianu" from Piatra Neamț'

‘‘We thank you for the opportunity to participate in this competition. It is a 'different' competition from other computer science contests, a new challenge. The students have studied, researched, tried, and this year they won 3rd place and are convinced that next year they will be winners. This competition has brought a lot of added value to the students: new knowledge, teamwork, research for the project.’’

Lőkös Annamária, Computer Science teacher,
National College "Ioan Slavici" from Satu Mare
