Another memorable year with Robotex Cyprus! 🤖🇨🇾

ECECT.eu was delighted to support Robotex Cyprus 2026, contributing to one of Cyprus' largest celebrations of educational robotics, STEM and innovation.

Throughout the event, our team welcomed students, educators, families, and technology enthusiasts to our booth, where we showcased EU-funded projects, promoted digital skills and lifelong learning, and demonstrated how emerging technologies can enhance education and help tackle real-world challenges.

We also had the pleasure of meeting Nathan Metsälä, CEO of Robotex International, and exchanging ideas on the importance of STEM education, innovation, and international collaboration.

We are also proud of ECECT members who volunteer as judges across several competitions, helping evaluate participants while encouraging creativity, teamwork, and technical excellence.

Robotex is much more than a competition; it is a meeting point where education, research, technology, and collaboration come together to inspire the next generation! 💡🚀
