Every year, the competition challenges high school and middle school students to identify a real need in their community or globally and to create an Arduino project that addresses that need.
Organized by ADFABER and sponsored by BOSCH, the competition is held within the Kids in Tech program and challenges students to combine fun, teamwork, and technology to create the most innovative Arduino project.
We are amazed by the children's ideas and what they have managed to create.
Congratulations to all participants for the hard work!

Why do children participate in the annual Arduino robotics competition?
This year, the National Arduino Competition is in its fifth edition. Impressed by the annual number of enrolled students, we asked them directly what attracts them to this competition.
Students express their delight at the idea of sharing responsibilities and working together to achieve a common goal.
At the same time, they can let their imagination run wild, they are appreciated, and are helped to bring their own ideas to life.
We can't help but be delighted by such responses! We aim to contribute to the digital development of children in Romania and truly believe that this competition is an opportunity to develop digital skills and imagination by creating a smart working environment and innovative solutions that improve life and address current issues using technology.
See here the winning projects from this edition.
Thank you to everyone involved!
Teachers, parents who understood the importance of the IT field and modern teaching methods in today's school and introduced students to technology and programming in a practical way.
Thank you to our sponsor Bosch who makes the annual competition possible and provides the prizes.
