WHAT IS WER?
WER (World Educational Robot Contest) is a unique worldwide educational robotics tournament that promotes intellectual development, competitiveness, and current vision of globalization in elementary, middle, and high school students. The challenges, goals, and dynamics of the WER competition drive the cognitive and social-emotional development of participating students.
WER is an inclusive tournament that involves schools, academies, clubs, and teams from diverse backgrounds in both the private and public sectors regardless of the size of the institution or its socioeconomic level.
Annually, more than 600,000 contestants from 30 countries and regions participate in WER contests.

WHY participate in
WER USA?
WER USA is an inclusive student-centered educational robotics tournament that suits both the most experienced students and someone with no experience. It is always challenging and leads participants to reach their maximum potential. Thanks to our web-based learning model and the dynamics of competitions, the WER USA contest develops in students:
Self-Managed Learning
In WER, students practice and develop:
- Active Learning
- Self-directed Learning
Students' learning experiences stimulate cognitive and socio-emotional development and encourage students to become self-sufficient.
- Interactive Learning
- Experiential Learning
Multiple Intelligences
In WER USA contests, students develop 6 of the 9 Gardner's multiple intelligence's:
Multiple Intelligences and key team roles
The Multiple Intelligences Test available on our web platform evaluates the students' profiles according to the 3 team's roles required: Leader, Programmer, and Designer-Builder.
True STEM Learning
Participants learn by doing. They study the part and the whole, with interconnected topics from different disciplinary perspectives. WER Contest USA stimulates in students a disruptive, divergent, and creative thinking.
Transversal competencies developed in WER
Complex problem solving | Creativity
| Self-management | Judgement and decision- making | Critical and innovative thinking | Teamwork | Risk assessment | Global citizenship Service orientation|Social + Emotional intelligence |Cognitive flexibility | Negotiation
