WRO India Theme for 2023: Connecting the World

The WRO India Season 2023 theme is “Connecting the World,” emphasizing the importance of global connectivity and collaboration.

The students/teams can showcase their creativity and problem-solving skills again this year. They will be tasked with presenting an idea, project blueprint and later a working prototype aligned with the theme of “Connecting the World.” This idea or project could involve innovative solutions that foster connections and enhance global communication.

We encourage participants to think outside the box and develop groundbreaking ideas contributing to a more connected and interconnected world.

WRO India Level 2: Virtual Regional Round

Level 2 Virtual Regional Round is the next stage for students who successfully advance from the WRO India National Entrance Test under the Future Innovators category.

In this round, students will have the opportunity to compete in teams. The teams will be tasked with virtually presenting their idea or project blueprint, utilizing research data and presentations to validate their concepts to the judges.

This round is a crucial step in the WRO India journey, where participants showcase their innovative ideas and demonstrate their ability to bring them to life.

WRO India Level 3: Regional round

The students whose ideas are validated by the judges in the Level 2 Virtual Regional Round will have the opportunity to advance to Level 3 of WRO India, the Regional Round.

Note: Unlike the previous rounds, the Level 3 Regional Round is open to all teams, including private teams that are not affiliated with ISF partner schools. These teams can directly enter the Regional Round under their preferred category by paying a participation fee of INR 18000 per team.

During the Level 3 Regional Round, participants will showcase their innovation in person and compete with other teams from the same region. They will be required to present a working prototype based on the idea/project blueprint that is already validated by the judges.

This round is a thrilling opportunity for the teams to demonstrate the practical implementation of their ideas and showcase their technical skills. The competition will be fierce as teams strive to impress the judges and secure their place in the National Championship.

WRO India Level 4: National Championship

The WRO India Level 4 National Championship is the ultimate battleground for teams nationwide. The teams that emerge victorious in this round will earn the prestigious “National Champions” title.
