Code Club has launched a local robotics competition designed to inspire and engage young minds in STEM.
The event will run in autumn 2025, based on the schedule and material of the prestigious World Robot Olympiad Final in November.
The competition is open to students aged 11-15, and aims to mirror the creativity, problem-solving and teamwork celebrated in the international WRO event.
Using LEGO robotics kits, participants will work in teams to design, build and programme autonomous robots to complete a series of challenges inspired by this year’s WRO theme.

“We want to give Isle of Man students the opportunity to experience the excitement of robotics, coding, and innovation in a friendly, inclusive competition,” said Steve Wilson, a Trustee of Code Club.
“This is about empowering the next generation of engineers, technologists and creative thinkers.”
The local event will feature:
- A junior and senior division to support different age groups;
- Teams of 2 with a coach for each team;
- A series of engaging challenges aligned with global WRO standards;
- Opportunities for participants to showcase their designs to a panel of local industry experts;
- A celebration event and prize-giving for all teams.
Schools, community groups, and individual students are encouraged to register their interest early.
No previous robotics experience is required—Code Club will be offering optional mentoring and training workshops in the lead-up to the event.
