WER Australia
Our first competition, bringing together students from around Queensland, to compete in the first Australia World Robotics Contest. Hosted at Macgregor State School, with support from Lord Mayor, Graham Quirk.
WER World
Organized in conjunction with Mindcan STEM Institute, an Australian school delegation, participated in the world competition. With more than 30,000 students from over 20 countries, like the United States, Mexico, and Korea, students were able to represent Australia on a global stage, and build friends around the world.
WER Australia
Growing from the success of our first contest, our 2019 WERAU contest was bigger and better. With support from the Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner and MP Peter Russo we had more students from schools around Australia, such as St Luke's in Bundaberg, we got to see the creativity and technological aptitude that Australian students have to offer, with the theme of Artificial intelligence.
WER World
With a grant from the federal government and Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner, WERAU organized for the winners of WERAU 2019 to travel to Shanghai to compete as the Australian Team. Australian delegation competed with other 50,000 students from more than 20 countries, with one team coming in third place and another winning the innovation award!
Online Coding Competition
Due to COVID 19 preventing us from hosting WERAU, we instead hosted Australia's first online coding competition with support from the Redland City Mayor, Karen Williams and Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner. With over 250 participants from around Australia, participants put their programming skills to the test in a online coding arena, battling it out to be the best programmer!
