I was invited to attend the presscon of the 16th International Robotics Olympiad happening this November 5-9 at Beijing, China.
Students from People of Grace will represent our country in China and they need all the support that we can give them. Many of the Champions in Robotics Competitions had to go through rigorous
trainings prior to becoming the country representatives to an international Olympiad such as the IROC.
International Robotics Olympiad
The 16th International Robotics Olympiad will be held on Nov. 5-9, 2014 at Shi-
jingshan Gymnasium, Beijing, China.The theme of this IROC is "Robots: Stop Global Warming!"
