With a US $10,000 prize from premium partner Juniper Networks, World Robot Olympiad hopes to encourage more young women to become future inventors and scientists. Many girls are put off by science when they hit puberty. An English study from 2019 found that girls lack confidence in their ability in STEM subjects and are less likely to think they will end up working in them when they leave school. We see the same tendencies in World Robot Olympiad™. The average number of girls participating in the past five International Finals was just 17 percent. By introducing a 'Girls in STEM' competition, where national organizers can enter their best ideas to increase the number of girls in WRO® we hope to change that.
