The Ministry of Innovative Development of the Republic of Uzbekistan is organizing International Robotics Challenge in the frame of “INNOWEEK” – the week of innovative ideas and projects from 23 to 26 of October in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. There are two age categories in IRC: from 9 to 16 (U16) and from 17 to 25 (16+) and each category consists of several contests with Arduino based robots, with robots on the basis of Lego Mindstorms (EV3 or NXT) and of local constructors.
International Robotics Challenge will provide a platform for youth to test and demonstrate their skills in the field of robotics. Participants of the challenge will have an opportunity to meet with youngsters who share the passion for science&technology, to exchange ideas, collaborate and establish networks. Being the most populous country in the heart of Central Asia, Uzbekistan will also provide a great chance for participants to learn more about the culture and traditions of this land with rich history.
