Sponsored and supported by Intel Corporation
Exciting news! The world-renowned RoboRAVE International Competition is set to take place in California, USA on May 20th, 2023!
RoboRAVE is Sponsored and supported by Intel Corporation, the competition has a 20-year history in the United States, attracting tens of thousands of students each year. Students from Canada, China, France, Spain, Japan, Colombia, Mexico, Czech Republic, India, and the United States have all participated.
The RoboRAVE competition challenges students to design, build, and program fully autonomous robots to complete tasks. The competition is rooted in inquiry-based learning and project-based learning, providing an excellent educational platform for students to develop their hands-on abilities, scientific literacy, teamwork, project and time management skills, and language expression.
As the authorized organizer of RoboRAVE Canada, Sager Education leads outstanding students to participate every year, adhering to the STEM education concept in North America. Principal Dr. Chris Zhang, who has rich experience in the field of robotics and a strong academic background, leads the students to the international competition once again after three years.
Dr. Zhang, who previously worked at the University of British Columbia, specializes in computational geometry theory, computer vision, and robot vision algorithms. He also serves as the President of Canada Youth Robotics Club, a non-profit organization, a Judge of Science Fair at the Vancouver Science Exhibition, and Chairman of the Canadian Division of RoboRAVE International Robot Competition.
In 2019, Dr. Zhang led the students to participate in international competitions and visited the Very Large Array – National Radio Astronomy Observatory(VLA). Due to the epidemic, the three games in 2020 were canceled, and the online games could not be carried out smoothly. Now, with the gradual resumption of regional competitions in other countries, principals and students are looking forward to participating in the first RoboRAVE international competition after the epidemic. Don't miss this chance to join forces and compete against the world's top robotics teams!

Why Learn Programming and Robotics?
Programming and robotics are essential parts of a STEM education. In the process of building a robot, students learn practical hands-on skills like reading documents, understanding engineering drawings, selecting materials, cutting, and debugging. Robotics also involves multiple STEM fields, such as astronomy, where students can make their own telescopes to observe total solar eclipses. By learning programming and robotics, students can develop logical thinking, problem-solving skills, creativity, and innovation - all of which are essential skills needed for future societies.
