The European Rover Challenge is an international space and robotics event that combines Martian rovers competition with science and technology spectacles. Guided by the slogan "we inspire a new generation", since 2014 we bring the cosmos closer to the general public and make people aware of the growing role of modern technologies in our lives. The ERC is also a meeting place for representatives of the European world of science and business interested in the use of space and robotic technologies. Among the special guests of the previous ERC editions, one could meet, among others, Steve Jurczyk - former NASA Associate Administrator, Robert Cabana - NASA Associate Administrator, Robert Zubrin - founder of The Mars Society, Harrison Schmitt - NASA astronaut and member of the legendary Apollo 17 mission, or Tim Peake - astronaut of the European Space Agency, who ran the London Marathon during his time on the International Space Station. The main part of the project is an international robotics competition, in which academic teams from all over the world present their mobile robot designs, competing in competitions based on real ESA and NASA missions. The competition takes place on the largest artificial Martian track in the world, which derives directly from the surface of the Red Planet. From 2021, the competition takes place in both formulas: ON-SITE (teams compete with self-built robots on MarsYard in Poland) and REMOTE (competitors from different continents will remotely control the robot, physically moving along a track located in Poland, on the campus of Kielce University of Technology). Inspiration Zone, and from 2020 also workshops and other forms of online entertainment, are prepared for tens of thousands of fans of space, science and new technologies, attracted every year by the ERC. One of the most frequent groups of visitors to our event are parents with children, which is why we organize the attractions program to include workshops, interactive performances, speeches and popular science lectures tailored to audiences of all ages.

WRO enables young people (aged 6-25) to showcase their technical and problem-solving skills and creativity in the field of robotics. The winning teams will represent the UAE in the virtual international finals on November 18-21 which will host teams from over 85 countries.

TEKNOFEST is Turkey's first and only aerospace and technology festival organized with the partnership of numerous organizations that play a crucial role in the development of national technology in Turkey. Having been organized for the first time in 2018, the TEKNOFEST Aerospace and Technology Festival aims to arouse interest in technology across society and raise awareness of Turkey's transformation into a technology-developing society with activities such as technology contests, performances planes, concerts, interviews on various topics and various events. Within TEKNOFEST, technological competitions are organized in various disciplines and categories to allow thousands of young people to make their dreams come true. While a total of 4,333 teams and 20,000 young competitors applied for the technology competitions organized in 14 different categories in 2018, 17,373 teams and 50,000 competitors from 81 provinces and 122 countries applied for the competitions organized in 19 different categories in the 'next year. Looking back to 2020, a total of 100,000 young technology enthusiasts and 20,917 teams from 81 provinces and 84 countries applied for the technology competitions in 21 different categories, which took place within the TEKNOFEST, hosted by Gaziantep. Held for the fourth time from 21 to 26 September 2021 at Atatürk Airport, the TEKNOFEST Aerospace and Technology Festival welcomed 44,912 teams and 200,000 people from 81 provinces and 111 countries who applied for the technology competitions held in 35 different categories . 2,200 teams and 13,000 individuals were qualified to compete as finalists. Taking inspiration from its past, TEKNOFEST continues its journey to the National Technology Initiative with confident steps.

MATE currently has 41 regional in the United States and around the world. Find the one closest to you! Each year, the MATE ROV contest challenges students to build an ROV to tackle real-world-based tasks. From simulating missions to explore Jupiter's moon Europa to diving on hydrothermal vents and determining identification on an unknown shipwreck, the MATE ROV competition allows college and university students to elementary students to build an ROV with a specific goal in mind. Students are asked to think of themselves as entrepreneurs, forming a company to build and operate an ROV to meet the needs of the marine science and technology community. Not only does the ROV have to complete assigned diving tasks, but students have to give an oral presentation to industry professionals, create written technical documentation on their ROV, and create a marketing display showing their vehicle. The competition is divided into different competition classes based on the level of complexity required to build the vehicle. EXPLORER class: Universities, colleges and high schools that have previously participated in the MATE ROV competition. EXPLORER-class teams must create a complex vehicle and have a deep understanding of electronics, electricity, sensors, waterproofing containers and other technologies. PIONEER class: Technical and community colleges for the first time, as well as four-year universities for the first time. PIONEER-class teams must create a complex vehicle and have a deep understanding of electronics, electricity, waterproofing containers and other technologies. RANGER class: High school, middle school with robotics experience, RANGER class teams should have a good knowledge of robotic systems and electricity. Some knowledge of electronics, sensors, and waterproofing is helpful. If you are experienced in terrestrial robotics competitions, starting in the RANGER class might be an option. NAVIGATOR class: Middle schools with robotics experience, high schools new to robotics and advanced elementary schools with robotics experience. Some understanding of robotic systems and electricity is helpful. If you have limited experience with terrestrial robotics competitions or have robotics experience but no competition experience, NAVIGATOR is a great place to start. SCOUT Class: Elementary Schools, Middle Schools and Initial High Schools. If you are new to robotics or have limited experience in robotics, this is the place to start. The instructions, tutorials and lesson plans will teach you all the basic information you will need. The basic ROV kits will provide you with all the materials you need to build a vehicle. Groups interested in participating in the MATE Center competition should contact their regional coordinator (Click here for our regional map and contact information). Regional coordinators can provide groups with additional information and additional local resources. Competition: MATE ROV contest score The overall theme of the competition changes every year. Product demonstration activities are released in the fall as part of the competition manuals, but many teams start building their control system earlier (the vehicle will always have to move through the water). Additional information, including scoring cards and rubrics, information on regional contests, and videos, is released in the winter and early spring. A company data sheet is also required at the World Championship. Another optional component offered in some regional and World Championships is corporate responsibility. The competition consists of a product demonstration and three engineering and communication components: a product presentation, technical documentation and a marketing visualization. The product demonstration is the vehicle that completes the mission activities on the water. Teams are rated based on what they are able to complete and a time bonus if they can complete all tasks. The product presentation is an oral presentation given by student team members to a group of working professionals, followed by a question and answer period. Technical documentation is a written report detailing the vehicle's design and operating characteristics. The Marketing Display is a poster that showcases the characteristics of the vehicle. The company data sheet is a short one-page description of the team (company) and the ROV. Corporate responsibility is a way for teams to "give back" and positively impact their peers, the community and the environment.
