The Robotics for Good Youth Challenge is a UN-based global robotics competition launched by the International Telecommunication Union that challenges students to design, build, and program robots that address real-world problems through AI and robotics innovation. Teams from more than 50 countries participate in local chapter events before advancing through the competition, with over 2,000 teams and 18,000 participants engaging annually. The platform-agnostic format gives students full creative freedom in how they approach and engineer their solutions. It is one of the most internationally recognized robotics competitions available to high school students, with direct ties to the United Nations and a mission to advance technology education worldwide.
Writing code to build software, automate tasks, or bring an idea to life on a screen.
Designing and building physical machines that sense, move, or respond to the world.
Breaking down a challenge and working through it methodically to a solution.
Guiding a group toward a shared goal and keeping everyone moving together.
Planning tasks, timelines, and resources to get a project done on schedule.
Evaluating information carefully before drawing a conclusion or making a decision.
Students design, build, and program robots to solve real-world problems, directly mirroring core robotics engineering work.
Participants program their robots without mandatory kits, requiring custom coding and algorithm development skills.
Students design and build robot hardware and structures to compete in engineering challenges.
The competition emphasizes innovative, practical solutions to real-world problems with platform-agnostic design freedom.
